Carpooling

Rideshare

• Uber and Waymo are able to pick-up and drop-off in the two parking circles on the Colorado Avenue side of the campus.

Parking

• Street parking near campus is very limited. Street parking may be available on Broadway and Stewart Street, which are a short walk from campus, this parking is metered.
• Onsite underground parking cannot be validated by the University. The daily cost of underground parking on campus is $35.40, which is one reason other transportation options are recommended.
