2024 Year in Review: Accomplishments and Goals

Stephany Correa-Diaz — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 06:18:59 +0000

2024 Year in Review: Accomplishments and Goals Stephany Correa-Diaz Wed, 02/26/2025 - 23:18

Highlights

91�� launched a Climate Action Plan that included a commitment to track and reduce scope 3 commute emissions.
In August, we received the DrCOG Employer Champion Award for our efforts in mobility and transportation access to staff.
We launched a spring micromobility crash survey, which is our first step toward obtaining a greater understanding of crash data on campus.
We obtained $3.4 million to fund our electric buses and expand our net-zero impact.
We partnered with Via Mobility to add late night service to Will Vill.

Micromobility Ridership

CU affiliates increasingly used shared transportation services to get to their destinations. The graph titled “91��’s Micromobility 2023-2024” shows overall rides in 91��, with an estimated two thirds or more being 91�� members.

Lime Scooters

Lime usage increased 105% from 2023 to 2024.
Lime's best month in 91�� was October 2024, with 122,034 rides taken, topping out with 6,551 trips on CU Football Gameday against Kansas State. That’s double the average fall day.

BCycle E-Bikes

110,000 more rides were taken on BCycle in 2024 than 2023, an increase of 15%.
Out of the 813,352 trips taken in 2024, 92% of rides were taken by students.

Vanpool

Thanks to continued funding from 91�� Chamber Transportation Connections, 54 additional frontline service workers were able to vanpool for free, with a net addition of 30 new vanpoolers when the grant program ended December 31st.

EV Car Share

Colorado Carshare started offering EV car share options in Williams Village and C4C, starting in January and November respectively. Will Vill had 257 bookings in 2024.

Bus Ridership

2024 was one of the first years we obtained useful, granular data on bus ridership. We found that 52% of eligible employees used their bus pass, or 5,043 distinct users. The graph below shows annual pass usage by employees based on frequency.

Top users: There are around 1,075 commuters (10% of all employees) who either ride every week or are considered transit-reliant. This is a combination of the employees riding over 200 times a year (273 commuters) with those riding 51-200 times a year (802 commuters).
Semi-regular users: Considering those who ride monthly or less frequently, there are close to 4000 employees who use the bus, but not for a regular commute.

Try integrating bus travel into your daily commute with the Transit app, and gain access to real-time location tracking for 91��’s Buff Buses, RTD, HOP, B-cycle and more.

Moving Forward in 2025

In 2025 and beyond, we will continue our efforts to expand transportation and mobility access in line with Climate Action Plan goals for Scope 3 emissions. Efforts this year will include:

Creation of a transportation demand management (TDM) plan to improve and expand our transportation services
Design and implementation of a student and employee commute survey that will improve data for tracking our greenhouse gas impacts
Expansion of our EV car share partnership to two new locations
Growth of our EV bus fleet from four buses to eight, including our first two 60-foot articulated buses

We sincerely thank the Buff community for commuting safely and supporting our endeavors in sustainable transportation.
