PARKING
AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Shuttle Services
Towson University runs shuttle routes both
on-campus and off-campus to serve campus visitors and the general campus community. Community members should plan to park their vehicle in a designated lot and use the shuttle to access other locations on campus.
Groups or departments wishing to charter a bus for an event must coordinate their request through Transportation Services.
Individuals with disabilities preventing them from using the regular shuttle buses should utilize the Para-Transit service.

Transportation Services has installed a system that allows community members to access real time information regarding the status of vehicles and the projected arrival time to stops. Click on the Nextbus link for more information.
Late Evening Shuttle Service
-
There are two on-demand shuttles that depart campus at 10:15 p.m. Monday – Friday. One shuttle combines the Kenilworth and Timonium routes, while the other combines the Rodgers Forge and Goucher routes. These shuttles do not run fixed routes but rather take the most expeditious route to reach the stops requested by those riding this last shuttle. Simply tell the driver which stop you need to go to when you board the shuttle. Please note that only established stops will be serviced and that a valid TU ID is required to ride these shuttles.
After 10 p.m. shuttle departure times and locations are as follows:
Kenilworth/Timonium
- 10:05 p.m.- Lot 11 bus shelter
- 10:15 p.m.- Towsontown Garage bus shelter
Rodgers Forge/Goucher
- 10:10 p.m.- College of Liberal Arts bus shelter
- 10:15 p.m.- College of Fine Arts bus shelter
Fall 2011 Service Changes
In an effort to better serve the campus community Parking & Transportation Services has worked with the student organizations to modify some services provided by the department. Effective August 27th, 2011, the following changes will be implemented.
Please review the schedules for more detailed information regarding service days and times.
- Black Route (NEW) - The Black route will service the Core Campus, West Village, and University Village in 20 minute loops. The Black route will not service the Towson Center area.
- Rodgers Forge Route (EXPANDED) - The Rodgers Forge route has been modified to provide service to Walker Manor and Drumcastle Apts. The Rodgers Forge route will not service the Towson Center area.
- Tiger Shuttle (EXPANDED) - The Tiger Shuttle will now begin its weekend only operations at 2 p.m and will continue to operate until 9 p.m.
- County Garage Route has been discontinued, as such there will no longer be any direct connection to the Rabbittransit shuttle. To access a connection to Rabbittransit please utilize the Timonium Park-n-Ride shuttle stop on the Timonium/Cockeysville route. .
- Bike Racks on all Shuttle Routes (NEW)- Beginning with the Fall 2011 semester, all TU shuttles operating on fixed on and off campus routes will be equipped with bike racks. If you don’t live at an off campus shuttle stop, you can still go green. Ride your bike to the closest stop and utilize one of our bike rack-equipped shuttles to get to campus.
Inclement Weather
In the event of inclement weather, the primary concern is the safety of the campus community. Shuttles will not operate if the university is closed due to inclement weather. If the university opens late, every effort will be made to start operating shuttles one hour prior to the announced late opening time. If the university closes early, shuttles will operate for up to one hour after the official closing time provided it remains safe to do so. If department management determines it is unsafe to operate shuttles, service will be discontinued whether or not the university is open.
Please monitor Nextbus.com for notifications about shuttle service during inclement weather.
Advertising on Bus Shelters
A portion of the bus shelters located on the campus allow for advertising by outside organizations. If you are interested in advertising opportunities on these bus shelters, please contact MSSmedia at: 800.988.7657 or ads@MSSmedia.com.
