Colorado Mountain College students and employees can now save money and be greener by catching free rides between college locations in Glenwood Springs, Spring Valley and Carbondale.
RIDE CMC is a free shuttle service operating Monday through Thursday between three local CMC locations and the Thunder River Market on Highway 82 at the Spring Valley turnoff. A CMC student or employee ID is required to ride, or a photo ID plus a class schedule.
“If you have always wanted to take a class at Spring Valley but didn’t have access to a car, this is a great opportunity,” said Lisa Doak, campus dean for student affairs. “We’re glad to be able to provide this additional, free access to students from our communities. This semester an average of 25 students or employees have been using the shuttle every day.”
Stop locations (look for a “RIDE CMC” sign) are in front of the Calaway Academic Building at Spring Valley, on the west side of the Glenwood Center, in front of the Lappala Center in Carbondale and at the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority connection (south end of the parking lot) at Thunder River Market.
RIDE CMC is provided by the college thanks to contributions from the Student Government Association. Fees or charges may apply in future semesters for the shuttle service.
