Shuttle Services
About Us:
Two university shuttle systems provide more than a half-million rides each year for students, faculty, staff and visitors of the university community. Although the systems are separately funded, they are managed by UC Transportation Services. The systems are identified as:
- Bearcats Transportation System (BTS) - the off-campus shuttles (funded by UC students), and
- Campus Transit System (CTS) - the campus-to-campus shuttles (funded by UC administration).
For questions about Shuttles, please call 513-556-4424.
Note: No shuttles operate to or from UC Clermont or UC Reading Campuses. For transportation options, refer to the Frequently Asked Questions.
