on-campus and off-campus to serve campus visitors and the general campus community. While on campus, community members should plan to park their vehicle in a designated lot and use the shuttle to access other locations on campus.

Late Evening Off Campus Shuttle Service
There are two on-demand shuttles that depart campus at 10:15 p.m. Monday – Friday. One shuttle combines the Kenilworth and Timonium routes, while the other combines the Rodgers Forge and Goucher routes. These shuttles do not run fixed routes but rather take the most expeditious route to reach the stops requested by those riding this last shuttle. Simply tell the driver which stop you need to go to when you board the shuttle. Please note that only established stops will be serviced and that a valid One Card is required to ride these shuttles.
After 10 p.m. shuttle departure times and locations are as follows:
Kenilworth/Timonium
10:05 p.m.- University Union (lower level bus slip)
10:15 p.m.- Towsontown Garage bus shelter
Rodgers Forge/Goucher
10:10 p.m.- College of Liberal Arts bus shelter
10:15 p.m.- College of Fine Arts bus shelter
Summer Semester & Academic Year Breaks Alternative Options
Campus shuttles will have an abbreviated schedule during over Winter Session and the summer. Campus shuttles will not be in operation when the university is closed for a holiday or inclement weather. When campus shuttles operate on an abbreviated schedule during the summer or over breaks, for those TU students, faculty, and staff who utilize the shuttle services, Parking & Transportation Services offers other options which include: utilizing other Alternative Transportation Program, purchasing a pro-rated annual permit, or purchasing a weekly or monthly permit (NO REFUNDS).
Inclement Weather
In the event of inclement weather, the primary concern is the safety of the campus community. Shuttles will not operate if the university is closed due to inclement weather. If the university opens late, every effort will be made to start operating shuttles one hour prior to the announced late opening time. If the university closes early, shuttles will operate for up to one hour after the official closing time provided it remains safe to do so. If department management determines it is unsafe to operate shuttles, service will be discontinued whether or not the university is open.
Please monitor Nextbus.com for notifications about shuttle service during inclement weather.
Advertising on Bus Shelters
A portion of the bus shelters located on the campus allow for advertising by outside organizations. If you are interested in advertising opportunities on these bus shelters, please contact MSSmedia at: 800.988.7657 or ads@MSSmedia.com.
