Campus Transit Shuttle Routes and Schedules
During the fall, winter, and spring quarters UCSC Campus Transit operates three on-campus routes: The Loop, Upper Campus, and the Night Upper Campus.
Hagar Road Closure Transit Impacts
A portion of Hagar Road will be closed from June 19-August 28, 2025. All transit will be re-routed due to the closure.
UCSC Shuttles will partially serve Hagar with clockwise loops going as far as the East Remote Lot interior, and counterclockwise loops going as far as Athletics & Recreation (OPERS).
Santa Cruz METRO buses will bypass Hagar and travel on Coolidge.
The schedule will be adjusted on breaks, holidays, and final exam days.
Summer Intersession: June 13-20, 2025
