To streamline the College of Engineering N-E Ride shuttle system, riders must now use the new TripShot reservation and boarding system to book their travel and board the shuttle.
Beginning Monday, August 23 (first day of Fall 2021 classes), a TripShot reservation will be required to board the shuttle. You can make a reservation via the TripShot app, any time prior to the bus leaving its location – even a minute before – if there is a seat available.
This app will provide users with real-time shuttle tracking, trip planning/reservation capabilities, and notifications/alerts sent directly to your device!
The TripShot application can be downloaded from your device’s app store (iOS or Android), or by logging on to the web browser (https://unl.tripshot.com/). With the application, users can sign up for the N-E Ride TripShot system using the Service Name “UNL” with your university email domain (unl.edu, unomaha.edu, unmc.edu, etc.).
For how-to video tutorials, visit the N-E Ride homepage (link below).
