The shuttle has done nothing to change the UMB Police Department's program, which still operates within the campus area 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Three types of escorts are still available to University faculty, staff, and students: walking escorts, which are available around the clock, and police van and riding escorts from 6 p.m. to 12:20 a.m. Call 410-706-6882 or (ext. 6-6882 from a campus phone) to request a police escort. Please remember UMB Police officers are here to assist all faculty, staff, and students with any safety request. They are ready and willing to happily serve you; do not hesitate to call.

When you request a stop, the bus driver will allow passengers to exit at the next UMB shuttle stop for that particular route. The UMB shuttle will not pull over somewhere other than a UMB shuttle stop.

All UMB shuttle buses can be tracked using Ride System, a real-time GPS system. Ride System is accessible online. You also can download the Ride System app to receive alerts and text message or email updates about known service disruptions. There is a Ride System application for iPhone and various Android systems.

The UMB shuttle is a service for University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) students, faculty, and staff. Passengers must present and swipe a valid UMB ID/One Card to the driver to board a UMB shuttle bus. A $1.75 fee will be charged to all non-students (one way).

UMB shuttle buses are equipped with bike racks on the front of the bus. These racks accommodate up to two bicycles at a time and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Bicycles are not permitted inside the bus.

No, the UMB shuttle will only pick up passengers at UMB shuttle stops.

UMB shuttle buses are wheelchair-accessible and in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

UMB shuttle routes and schedules are available at www.umaryland.edu/shuttlebus/ online and in print at the SMC Campus Center and in school lobbies.

Changes to the Federal Hill Route were the result of community outreach to the University and the city of Baltimore. There were concerns about shuttles running through narrow streets in their community that already are congested with local traffic. As painful as these changes may be to you and other riders, we are asking riders who are affected by the route change to make adjustments to their schedules. Please look at the new route and schedule to plan for any adjustments you might have to make. You might consider incorporating the use of other transportation options available such as the Charm City Circulator and MTA. We hope you will continue to give us your suggestions as we work through the process of making this a user-friendly, efficient mode of transportation.

Every day, lost-and-found items are taken to a secure area in Pearl Street Garage. If you've lost something, please call 410-706-6603 or 410-706-1275 within five days.

Pine St. Bring proof of ownership, your ID, and be prepared to give a verbal or written description. You have one year to claim your property.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your suggestions regarding the UMB shuttle. While there is no plan at this time to change the existing routes, we will include your comments and suggestions in our data-collection process to determine any changes in the future. We hope you will continue to give us your suggestions as we work through the process of making this a user-friendly, efficient mode of transportation.
