to enhance their independence and quality of life.

for people with limited mobility by providing caring, customer-focused
transportation options.
Core Beliefs
We believe all people are entitled to live as independently
as possible within their life circumstances.
We believe freedom of movement is a basic human need in our society.
We believe everybody counts, regardless of age, health, disability, income,
ethnicity or sexual orientation and has a contribution to make to the community in which they live.
History
Special Transit was established in 1979 as a private, nonprofit organization with initial funding from the
Boulder County Commissioners to coordinate an efficient, cost-effective and accessible transportation system
for seniors and people with disabilities residing in Boulder County. Since that time, Special Transit has grown
from an annual budget of less than $50,000 to a multi-county, multi-program, multi-million dollar budget.
Social Enterprise/Earned Income Contracts
As a social entrepreneur, Special Transit operates three earned income contracts in order to generate revenue to
support Special Transit’s mission-based paratransit and mobility options programs.
