Due to TRAX construction on South Campus Drive, campus transit has reorganized the U’s shuttle routes.
“We’ve been talking about changing shuttle routes since the Olympics, but have only made minor adjustments before now,” said Ken Searles, manager of campus transit.
For the first time, an orange shuttle route will be an option for passengers, which will run from the Union to University Hospital to Heritage Commons. The red shuttle is now on a Hospital to TRAX 20-minute cycle.
The blue shuttle route, which ran counterclockwise around campus, will no longer service the Union or the U Hospital, and will make stops in the business loop on its way to Heritage Commons.
The green and purple routes will no longer use South Campus Drive. The purple route includes a new 500 South stop, and now serves both the East and West Villages. The black shuttle, which circled the Benchmark Apartments, will now travel north below the Medical Towers.
