Service Change Due to Public Health Emergency
Effective Thursday, March 19, Old Ivy Shuttle service will be suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus outbreak. Updates will be communicated on our website and Twitter @UVAUTS.
Old Ivy Shuttle is a free van shuttle that connects the Old Ivy Rd. corridor to Central Grounds and UVA Health. The shuttle is an option for employees on Old Ivy Rd. to get to meetings on Grounds, while also providing transportation for visitors to the departments along Old Ivy Rd.
The shuttle is currently a pilot program.
How do I ride?
The shuttle is free to ride and available to everyone. UVA ID is not required. Simply arrive at a stop and either board or wait for a van.
For the pilot program, the shuttle uses Safe Ride vans like in the photo above.
When does it run?
The shuttle runs 7:50 AM to 5:50 PM, Monday through Friday. It runs every 20 minutes on the following hourly timetable:

How to Use These Timetables
If you work at 2420 Old Ivy Rd. and have a meeting at Newcomb Hall at 10:00 AM, you would catch the shuttle outside your office departing at 9:30 AM. This will bring you to the Ridley Hall stop by 9:40 AM, leaving you plenty of time to walk to your meeting. To return, catch the shuttle across Emmet St. at UVA Bookstore.
If you work at the Hospital and have an HR appointment at 2:30 PM, you would catch the shuttle at Lane Rd. departing at 2:10 PM. This will bring you to 2420 Old Ivy Rd. by 2:25 PM.
*If no passengers request to get off at 2405 Ivy Rd., this stop may be skipped. 2405 Ivy Rd. is always serviced after leaving 2420 Old Ivy Rd. to pick up any passengers heading to Grounds or UVA Health.
