Shuttle Service

Note:  See attached shuttle service route maps below.

The Main Campus (5:30 a.m. to 12 Midnight) - Shuttle bus service is round trip (approximately every fifteen (15) to twenty (20) minutes) between the stadium parking lot, overflow parking lot and the main campus.  The approximate times may change due to such conditions as traffic, weather and construction. Shuttle service follows a circular route that includes stops within the stadium parking lot, near hospital buildings and several other stops on campus.  The number of buses in service is determined by average daily passenger traffic, with the highest number of buses in use during peak passenger times. One of the five buses is wheelchair accessible.

There are currently two overflow parking lots available when the primary parking lots are not available.  These overflow lots are located at the Old Farmers Market and southwest of the existing parking lot (part of the old Antonelli Building). The bus services are making runs through these areas.  See Campus Maps - Parking Lots to see the locations of these overflow lots.
