Frequently asked questions

Please note, shuttles do not operate on University holidays.

How can I track my shuttle?

Download the TripShot app to track University shuttles in real time. TripShot provides shuttle routes, schedules, and live bus locations.

What’s the difference between the University shuttles and U-Pass?

University shuttles provide rides to and around University campuses, as well as local shopping and entertainment destinations. Rides are free with campus ID. No application is required.

U-Pass provides unlimited bus rides via RTS public transit around the city of Rochester and the surrounding counties. Must meet eligibility requirements. A completed application is required.

Can I bring my bike on a University shuttle?

All University shuttles have racks on the front that hold up to two bicycles. If you wish to use the bike rack, signal the driver that you are going to the front of the bus. You’re responsible for loading and unloading your bicycle but it’s a convenient way to get around town when you need or want to add exercise to your commute.
