Effective Monday, August 7, 2023, the following Unitrans service changes go into effect. The changes are focused on improving service reliability and safety on campus during the class passing period. The changes were approved by the Unitrans Advisory Committee on April 27, 2023. Service frequencies will be restored to pre-pandemic levels as driver staffing improves.

Please have your pass or fare ready before the bus arrives. Your passes and fares pay for Unitrans service.
