Shuttle Services

The STM Circulator, commuter shuttle, and on-demand shuttle services have been consolidated into an on-demand service. Shuttles operate on-demand from 6 a.m.–6:30 p.m.

Shuttles pick up and drop off staff and visitors at stops on the South Table Mountain campus, the parking garage, Denver West Building 16, and limited stops at off-site locations including the RTD Oak Street Station, RTD Federal Center Station, and RTD Ward Road Station.

When requesting a ride from an RTD station, do so at least 15-20 minutes before you need to be picked up (for example, calling when the train at Union Station is departing) to give the shuttle driver sufficient notice.

To request a shuttle, use the TripShot ride-hailing app. Staff and visitors can also call 303-275-3111 to request a ride.

Shuttle Operations

For increased pedestrian safety and motorist visibility, NREL shuttles on campus will operate the same way as any other public shuttle or bus. Although South Table Mountain is a pedestrian-friendly campus, pedestrians are encouraged to always look both ways before crossing campus roads.

Passenger Instructions

  • When boarding, let other passengers exit before boarding the shuttle.
  • Wait to board the shuttle until it has fully stopped.
  • When disembarking, stand clear and do not cross until the shuttle leaves.
  • For HIGH-volume roadways cross at the nearest crosswalk.
  • For LOW-volume roadways, look both ways before crossing.

Motorist Instructions

  • On HIGH-volume roadways, yield to pedestrians crossing at marked crosswalks.
  • On LOW-volume roadways, yield to pedestrians crossing.

TripShot Ride-Hailing App

TripShot is NREL's ride-hailing app, offered by shuttle services subcontractor MV Transportation. TripShot enables employees to request an NREL on-demand shuttle using an app downloaded on any mobile device rather than calling the driver to request a ride. This app operates similar to other ride-hailing apps on the market (e.g., Uber, Lyft). When you request a ride, you will be notified that the shuttle is on the way, and you will be able to see the shuttle on the map as it travels to pick you up.

NOTE: Golden Field Office employees must contact Campus Shuttle Services directly to create a TripShot account.

If you need help with alternative trip planning or if you have any questions, please contact Campus Shuttle Services for assistance.
