Expect mask requirement and shuttle route changes for fall

Students, faculty and staff returning to campus will see many changes in the JagExpress Shuttle Service for the fall semester. First and foremost, all riders will be required to wear a mask in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In addition, multiple routes have been adjusted, which could mean choosing a different route color for some commuters. For instance, the Silver 2 route has been discontinued and folded into the Blue Route. The Georgia Cyber Center will be served exclusively by the Orange Route, so the Blue Route will no longer go to Reynolds Street. This means the Blue Route will now stop at each location about every eight minutes, an improvement on the 11-minute average wait time last year.

“The route changes have been made to reduce commute times and make the most of our university resources,” said Dale Hartenburg, AVP of Campus Services. “After reviewing data on the number of riders and stops, we have made decisions that should improve overall efficiency for the JagExpress Shuttle Service.”

Hartenburg shared the following route adjustments you need to know about for fall:
