Buses will run each weekday while classes are in session, but will not be in service on Monday, Sept. 2, in observance of Labor Day.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering is partnering with Arrow Stage Lines to provide free bus service between campuses, as well as UNMC, each weekday for students, faculty and staff each weekday while classes are in session.

For priority seating on the NE-Ride shuttles, free key ring tags are available for engineering students, faculty and staff. Tags are available in the Dean’s Office suites in Othmer Hall 114 (City Campus) and 100 PKI (Scott Campus).

During full shuttles, show your tag for possible early seating. Note: seats are not guaranteed and are still first come, first serve.

Any students and employees within the University of Nebraska system may use the shuttle, with priority given to those in the College of Engineering. Capacity for the buses is 40 riders. The college does not guarantee the shuttles have space for every rider per session; seats are first-come, first-serve.

Free wi-fi is available and no reservations are necessary. The service is available to those with active IDs from UNL, UNO or UNMC. Riders will be asked to scan their university ID as they embark.
