About ATFAB
The Alternative Transportation Fee Advisory Board (ATFAB) was created in Fall 2015 to manage CSU’s contract with Transfort and a new student fee to support the development of sustainable infrastructure on and around campus. Currently, the Alternative Transportation Fee supports three key programs:
- Municipal Bus Services — Transfort
- Additional routes and increased frequency connecting the campus to areas of Fort Collins with high student traffic.
- Mobility Shuttles
- CSU operates two shuttles on campus, the UCA Shuttle and the Courtesy Disability Shuttle.
- UCA Shuttle: On-Demand shuttle service connecting the campus core to the University Center for the Arts in the Historic Fort Collins High School building,
- Courtesy Disability Shuttle: Shuttle supporting mobility for people with temporary or permanent mobility-related disabilities.
- Rams Roll
- Comprehensive bicycle education program.
- Reduced theft with Bike Index registration, free bike locks (with registration), and bike parking education.
- Bike safety education and free bike lights (with registration)
- Bike maintenance and service education at The Spoke with free labor if you stay and learn.
ATFAB also awards between $250,000 and $500,000 each year to applicants for one-time funding. These funds support pilot programs as well as new sustainable transportation programs and infrastructure.
