Getting Around

• RTD Light Rail

  The RTD light rail station next to DU serves as a stop on the E, F and H lines, which connect all across Denver. Getting downtown by rail is quick and easy, and you can even use it to get to and from the airport on the new A line, which leaves from downtown Denver's Union Station.

  Once you arrive, you can walk across Buchtel Boulevard and walk south across the campus to University Hall, which is located just off S University Boulevard and E Warren Avenue. 

  Learn more on RTD's website.
