Arrange Shuttle or Cart Service

Triton Transit is proud to support campus departments with bus and cart service to support academic, extracurricular and public-facing events.

Like many businesses, our ability to maintain full staffing has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are supporting charter services to the best of our ability; however, we cannot currently accept all charter requests and sustain the service necessary for campus operations.

To request charter service for a bus or cart, complete the Charter Request Form. NOTE: You must be on the campus network or VPN to access and complete the form.
