  • New shuttle line better connects South, Downtown campuses

    In response to rider demand, Parking and Transportation Services has created a new, faster and more convenient shuttle service connecting the Downtown and South campuses.

    The new Blue Line shuttle merges the routes of the original Blue and Orange lines into a more convenient, direct-to-downtown ride without the hassle of transferring from shuttle to shuttle. The Orange Line has been discontinued.

    The Blue Line is designed to more effectively connect the campuses by increasing the number of departures and eliminating unnecessary stops.

    Two Blue Line shuttles operate daily, with the first shuttle departing the Parker lot on the South Campus at 6:25 a.m. each weekday and the final shuttle dropping off at Main Circle at 8:30 p.m.
