New at UMKC: Dual-Shuttle Service for a Faster Campus Ride!

Getting around campus just got easier! UMKC is launching a new dual-shuttle system to help you spend less time waiting and more time getting where you need to go.

🚌 Two Shuttles During Peak Hours
During the first few weeks of the semester, two shuttles will operate during peak hours to help keep students moving efficiently. If one shuttle is full or has just departed, a supplemental shuttle will arrive shortly behind it—giving you another option instead of waiting for the next scheduled trip.

📍 Track Your Shuttle in Real Time
Know where your shuttle is before you head to the stop. Use live GPS tracking to see the locations of both active shuttles at umkc.transloc.com.

🗺️ Plan Your Trip
For campus maps, shuttle schedules and information about KCATA Day Passes, visit umkc.edu/parking.

Whether you're heading to class, the library, dining, or another part of campus, we're making it easier to get there. Hop on and ride with UMKC!
