The RTD AB route runs directly between DIA and Boulder. Transit time is roughly 1 hr and the cost is $9. Please note that if you pay on the bus, you must pay cash and the drivers can’t make change.

If the bus schedule does not work with your arrival times, there are several shuttle services: Greenride Boulder, SuperShuttle, and other car services.

Transportation to/from NEON & around Boulder

If you are driving a vehicle, parking will be available at the Battelle Boulder Office/NEON HQ. If you do not have a vehicle, there are several transportation options to get you to/from NEON Headquarters and around town. If you are staying at the Millennium, your destination is the Downtown Boulder Station, from where you can walk, take a bus, or a short cab ride to the hotel.

Walking

The Millennium is 0.9 miles from NEON HQ along Arapahoe Ave or 1.3 miles along the scenic Boulder Creek path. 

Public Transportation

Bus passes can be purchased for Boulder’s/Colorado’s Regional Transit District (RTD). Note that the JUMP line runs up Arapaho Ave and conveniently links the hotel to NEON HQ.

Bike Rentals

Weather permitting, bike trails and routes connect many parts of Boulder.  The Boulder Creek path runs directly between the hotel and NEON HQ.
