We celebrated Active Transportation Month on the WashU shuttles this October. Students who rode the shuttles and entered our raffle won exciting prizes from businesses along the routes, including Schnucks movie theater popcorn, Fitz’s root beer, and a Crema Coffee travel mug.
The number of prizes helped to build awareness of the WashU shuttles’ extensive routes. The event showed that our shuttles provide a convenient and free way to explore St. Louis. Travel is made even easier with the TripShot app, where users can live-track shuttles, plan their journeys, and even find nearby restaurants. You can discover detailed descriptions of the Delmar Loop, DeBaliviere Place, Delmar DivINe, South Campus, West Campus, Skinker-DeBaliviere, and Lewis Collaborative shuttles and their routes below.
