Update for Ore Cart:

  1. In April, we will be adding two more ADA-accessible shuttles to our fleet. This will give us a total of five ADA shuttles, moving us closer to achieving a fully ADA-compliant fleet. This addition will also enhance our ability to manage our increasing demand and service coverage for maintenance and repairs.
  2. Our 2025 Annual Report will be released soon!
  3. There will be a minor reduction in service on the Silver Route (campus circulator) during the summer months to better align with reduced demand.
