The shuttle system is intended to transport faculty, staff and students, and our highest priority is to ensure passenger safety on every trip. Due to space constraints and safety concerns, we discourage use of shuttles to transport children but understand it may be necessary on occasion. We encourage parents to be considerate of other riders and adhere to these rules when traveling with children:

• Children under the age of 13 may ride shuttles when accompanied by an adult with a valid Wildcard or Shuttle Pass. The adult must remain with the child for the duration of the trip.
• Children must remain seated for the duration of the trip.

• Due to crowding concerns, large strollers are not allowed on the shuttle before 9:30 a.m. or between 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Compactable folded strollers are always allowed.
• If the shuttle becomes crowded, the driver may ask you to fold the stroller and hold your child in your lap.
• Open strollers cannot block the aisle or seats. Priority seating areas are intended for seniors and riders with disabilities. If these seats are not in use, the area may be used for strollers, but please be considerate and move the stroller if the area is needed by another rider.
