Red & Black Cart Service

The Red & Black Shuttle program is a method of transportation to support your academic success. The Service is intended to provide pick-up and/or drop-off rides for on-campus locations only.  This service is open to all faculty, staff and students. 

Hours of Operation:

Monday through Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.  The shuttle does not operate on holidays or weekends.

Routes:

University Police Department community service officers will drive five shuttle carts on the green, red, blue, and purple routes. (An ADA cart will be available to accommodate any requests). All routes connect in-front of the Sundial by Hepner Hall, so riders can easily transfer to a new route. 

Green/ FLEX Route (Campus Core):  The Green/FLEX route offers nine stops in the core of campus. You can be picked up and dropped off at any location on-demand as you see carts circulating the route.  

Yellow, Blue and Purple Routes (Housing Areas): The Red, Blue, Purple routes feature 11 cart stop locations to housing areas. The Yellow route operates west of campus, the Blue route runs south of campus, and the Purple line runs east of campus. You may be dropped-off or picked-up at any of the cart stops depending on capacity.
