The Climb serves the mountain communities of western Boulder County and is a member of Via’s family of transportation services.
The Climb connects residents of the mountain communities to each other and to public transportation options in the urban corridor. As of May 31, 2022, The Climb will make two trips, one in the morning and one in the late afternoon. The route will begin and end in Boulder, with stops in Poorman, Salina, and Gold Hill.
Service is available Monday – Friday, excluding holidays.
As of June 1, 2022, The Climb is free of cost for passengers.
Founded in 2009, The Climb empowers rural residents and communities by addressing their transportation needs through collaboration and shared transportation resources. Economic opportunity, access to services, and environmental protection of the mountain areas are core values of The Climb service.
The Climb became a member of the Via family in 2012. Drivers are Via employees and are hired, trained, and supervised by Via staff. However, The Climb maintains its own unique identity that reflects the mountain communities it serves.
The Climb is funded by Boulder County, a Federal Transit Administration grant secured by Via, contract services, and donations.
