What shuttles are available in Evanston?

These shuttles are available in Evanston:

  • Intercampus: The Intercampus shuttle provides service between Evanston and Chicago campuses. The mission of this shuttle is to transport faculty, staff and students between campuses while on University business.

Valid Wildcards are required to ride the shuttle at all times.

  • If the shuttle becomes crowded the driver may ask you to fold the stroller and hold your child in your lap.
