Martin Acres Eco Pass FAQ
What is an Eco Pass?
Boulder’s Neighborhood Eco Pass Program increases access to RTD’s transit system, lowers single occupant vehicle use, saves riders money, and enhances community relations. It is available to residents in neighborhoods that participate in the program.
Who is eligible for an Eco Pass?
We are working on extending passes to all who live in the geographic boundaries of US-36 to the north and east, Broadway to the west and Table Mesa to the south. Martin Acres currently has two districts within the these boundaries. Please see the map below.
What is new with RTD?
RTD is transitioning all customers to its MyRide system. That means WE have to process things differently, and YOU have to follow through with ALL of the next steps. A big change is that EVERYONE that signs up has to have their own unique email address, which we will input into RTD’s system. You will also use this email address to create a MyRide account and choose whether to use a mobile pass through the MyRide app or a smart card.
How much does a Eco Pass Cost?
Eco Pass prices depends on the frequency of use. Passes are valid for a calendar year.
Please contact Scott (MA2) or Jennifer (MA3) for specific costs based on your household situation.
