Shared e-scooters are launching citywide! E-scooters and e-bikes are cleaner, greener transportation choices that fill gaps in our transportation network, especially by connecting people to transit stops.  

Through providing shared transportation options with BCycle and Lime, we aim to make it easier for you to get around town without a car, bringing us all closer to our Boulder transportation and climate goals. 

The new and improved e-scooter program is iterative, building on what we learned from the year-long pilot program, including your feedback and support from boards and council.  

Safety is a priority! Lime uses geofencing to automatically require e-scooter slow zones, no-go zones, and parking zones in the city's busiest areas. View the safety flyer.  

Report broken or misparked e-scooters directly to Lime at 1-888-LIME-345 or support@li.me, or use the contact info posted on all e-scooters. Lime will respond within 2 hours.  

Find FAQs of what to expect, including safety and rules on the shared e-scooter webpage. 

It’s finally here—Boulder’s first fully protected intersection is open to all travelers! Check it out at 30th Street and Colorado Avenue.

Join a bike ride or walking tour of the improvements, watch the ribbon cutting, and enjoy refreshments on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.   

Additional improvements to the area will start later this year to connect to the intersection — including new sidewalk-level protected bikes lanes.  

These intersections improve safety by:

— Extending the protected bike lane to the intersection 🛴  

— Making it easier for people to see and be seen by drivers 🚗  

— Dedicating paths through the intersection for walking and biking 🚶🚲

Learn more on the project webpage.

The projects prioritize design and construction improvements on the city's Core Arterial Network (CAN), where a majority of severe crashes occur.

Funds will support two projects toward improving transportation infrastructure and safety for people driving, taking transit, biking and walking. 

• The 30th Street Multimodal Improvements will design and construct protected bicycle lanes, as well as improve infrastructure for transit and walking. 
• The Folsom Street Multimodal Improvements Pre-Design will complete preliminary design and community engagement to improve multimodal north-south connectivity.

RTD has awarded the city $650,000 toward starting a flex route, on-demand transit service in the Gunbarrel area. Beginning in 2024, the service will provide transit connections in this key employment and housing area and serve to provide first- and last-mile travel options for community members taking transit.  

Learn more on the press release. 

This fall, look out for seven new "No Right Turn on Red" restrictions at key intersection approaches across the city to help prevent crashes and keep our community safe.

Installations will be complete later this fall. These locations were identified as part of a new, proactive strategy to improve safety. View the 2023-2027 Vision Zero Action Plan.
