P/Q Route Change Proposal (ON HOLD/WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR COMING ACADEMIC YEAR): Due to persistent reliability issues, Unitrans proposes rerouting the P and Q lines from Lillard Drive and Drummond Avenue to Cowell Boulevard in South Davis. The proposed route changes impact approximately 4% of P/Q customers and would result in faster, more reliable service for 96% of customers. Impacted customers would use P/Q line stops on Cowell at Halsey Circle, Cowell at Farragut Circle, and Cowell at Drummond Avenue. The W and T lines would continue to serve Lillard Drive and Drummond Avenue directly. Click here for map and impacted stops.
West Village Improvement Proposals:
V-EX & V-LT Implementation - Unitrans proposes continuing service on the V-EX and V-LT lines in West Village as a response to high customer demand and positive feedback. The V-EX and V-LT would run from 7:00 AM to 8:10 PM up to 4 times per hour each for the next academic year pending driver staffing levels.
Weekend Route Change Proposal - Unitrans proposes changing the weekend V-MU service to provide direct grocery and shopping access for West Village residents. The proposed U line would replace the V-MU and operate via Highway 113 and Russell Boulevard to the MU Terminal directly serving Cuarto Dorms, Trader Joes, and University Mall. The proposal would eliminate service on Hutchison Drive and La Rue Road. Click here for full information and map.
Frequency Change Proposals: Unitrans proposes the following service frequencies for regular service in the 2022-2023 academic year, when driver staffing is at adequate levels. Service frequencies will be increased based on customer demand and may not all be implemented at the same time. Only lines which would see service frequency changes from today are displayed.
