Transportation
Commuter Shuttles: For faculty, staff and students who will be spending time at both the West Lafayette and the Indianapolis campus locations, free commuter shuttle services will be available beginning August 12.
Provided by Royal Excursion, six round trips will be offered daily during the week with a reduced schedule on the weekends during the fall and spring semesters. The 50-passenger buses are ADA compliant and include WiFi, collaboration spaces and restrooms.
The Rides2U app allows riders to reserve a seat and see when the shuttle is close to pick-up and drop-off locations. It is available through Google Play or the App Store. Purdue students, faculty and staff will need to create an account using their Purdue email. Using a Purdue email will ensure rides are free.
For pick-up and drop-off locations and schedules, please visit the auxiliary services website here. Get additional information about the app and the shuttle service on the Purdue Today website.
