Bring your bike!

Shuttles are cycle-friendly

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.

Check out our handy tips for loading and unloading your bicycle from a shuttle bus.
