The Campus Transit System is a unit of the Auxiliary Services Department providing transportation services throughout the University campus. Bus and disabled student transportation services are provided on a no-fare basis. Through an agreement between the University and the Athens-Clarke government, students may also ride Athens Transit buses fare-free. All services are funded by a qarterly fee paid by students.

When Do The Buses Operate?
Campus Transit buses operate on classdays. A reduced service schedule is provided during Summer Quarter, Final Exam periods and on Registration, Orientation, and Advisement days.

How Do I Know Which Bus To Take?
The Campus Transit System operates seven day routes and three night routes providing coverage to all parts of the University campus. Campus Transit buses have route signs on them identifying which route they are operating on. Campus Transit drivers will be happy to answer your questions and provide assistance, as well.

Where Do I Catch The Bus I Want?
The bus stops are identified on campus by blue curbing and bus stop signs. Most stops have passenger shelters for your convenience and comfort.

Transportation For The Disabled
Priority seating on buses and curb-to-curb van service are available as a courtesy to those members of the University community who establish the need. Van service is available from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. on class days. Van service is also available on Sunday evenings when the Public Safety Escort Service is available. All services are available upon request to any on-campus facility and to off-campus locations on either side of streets served by Campus Transit bus routes. For further service and eligibility information call Campus Transit at 369-6220.

Your Safety Is Our Main Concern!
University of Georgia bus drivers take pride in their ability to prevent many accidents each day, thus making Campus Transit one of the safest systems in the nation. You can help prevent injury by following these safety tips:

• Stay back from the curb until the bus comes to a complete stop.
• Cross the street behind the bus. This helps you to see, and be seen by other motorists.
• Do not walk between two stopped busses. The buses sometimes roll back slightly when the brakes are released.
• When driving another vehicle, do not pass a stopped bus unless you are in a passing zone.
• If you ride a bicycle, skateboard, or roller blades, don't hang on to the rear of the bus or follow too closely. The bus may stop unexpectedly.
