Students Catch "Campus Transit" To Get Across Campus

Campus Transit Operations, is the division of Transportation & Parking Services that provides transportation services throughout the UCSC campus. Bus and disabled transportation services are provided on a no-fare basis; these services are supported by the Student Transit Fee.

The Campus Transit system operates two daytime routes – The Loop and Upper Campus, and three nighttime routes – The Loop, the East Night Core and the West Night Core.

TAPS also provides Night Owl, late-night bus service between campus and downtown Santa Cruz, exclusively for UCSC students, staff and faculty.

Campus Transit Operations also provides the UCSC Bike Shuttles.

The Disability Van Service, our on-campus van service for those with mobility impairments, is also part of TAPS Campus Transit Operations.
