Do the UC Shuttles Operate if Severe Weather Closes UC?

If the University of Cincinnati closes due to severe weather, etc., shuttles will continue to operate for one hour after the official university closing time, provided the roads are safe and passable.
However, some routes may stop operating even when the university remains open, if road conditions are unsafe. Please follow the Shuttles Live for the most up-to-date travel information concerning route operations and estimated times.

Think you lost something on the shuttle?

It is best to check with the driver when you reboard the shuttle to see if your lost item(s) were found. If not, please contact Public Safety (Clifton Campus) at 513-556-4925 or (Blue Ash Campus) at 513-745-5707.
