RTD is transitioning their Smartcard system (the EcoPass) to a digital platform. With this transition, new users will be receiving their EcoPass on their phones as a mobile QR code. The transition to a digital pass must be made by December 1, 2023.
To set up a MyRide account, Auraria Campus employees of each institution must download the RTD MyRide app and use their campus email address. Instructions for downloading and setting up your MyRide account can be found HERE. If personal email addresses are used, the pass will require personal funding and will not be paid for by the employees’ respective institution.
After an account is created and the user has a QR code, they must then email a notification to the parking office at RTDJustRideAccounts@ahec.edu. Once the parking office receives the confirmation, they will issue and activate the EcoPass in the app for immediate use. Please note these steps are only for Auraria Campus employees with an ACTIVE pass issued via the AHEC parking office. All Auraria Campus student RTD CollegePasses are already digital.
Any questions on the transition can be directed to the parking office:
