Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most cities the size of Colorado Springs place little importance on developing public transportation. With this in mind, it’s apparent that CC’s hometown has aimed well below average. Students almost never use the bus system, mostly because nobody knows where the buses go or when they go there. One taxi service operates within city limits, but it’s not high on a typical CC student’s list of transport.

Although freshmen are technically not allowed to have cars, many quickly learn that this is a rule that was meant to be broken. Students that don’t have cars rarely find it difficult to find a ride, especially if they want to go grocery shopping or on a day trip to the mountains. In addition, residence hall RAs are good about planning group shopping trips, and student groups provide vans or buses to concerts and other cultural events. Most of the time, the campus provides everything a student needs to be comfortable, and most people don't suffer from lack of transportation options.

Nonexistent for the Most Part

There is no convenient public transportation in Colorado Springs, but there's not a big need for it. Almost everything you need you can get on campus. Shuttles from CC to the Denver airport are around $50.

Transportation at CC Is Average

Though transportation around campus is not really needed because of the small campus size of Colorado College and close proximity to downtown, public transportation is adequate around the city. Due to budget cuts, a lot of routes have been eliminated. There is a bus that runs multiple times daily to Denver, but it no longer runs on the weekends. There are occasionally buses that take students to sporting events or skiing on the weekends.

No Public Transportation, but There's Safe Ride

Downtown is within walking distance, but in Colorado, no one wants to be walking outside when it's ten degrees. However, to get around campus at night, there is a school sponsored "Safe Ride" program that will take you within a five block radius of campus for free. It runs from 9pm-2am on the weekends and from 8pm-1am on weeknights.
