On May 2, 2010, the US 36 & Broomfield park-n-Ride, located near the 1ST BANK Center (formerly the Broomfield Event Center) replaced the existing Broomfield park-n-Ride. The new park-n-Ride and bus only slip ramps will provide commuters with more parking and a smoother commute into Boulder and Denver. A new pedestrian bridge will provide safe access across US 36.

The old Broomfield park-n-Ride was moved from its location at Wadsworth and 120th Avenue to a new location at Wadsworth and Arista Place (8010 Transit Way) and was renamed US 36 & Broomfield park-n-Ride on May 2, 2010. See map below for details.
