University Transit Service

University Transit Service

University Transit Service (UTS) is a fare-free transit service committed to providing safe, reliable, efficient, and friendly transit service to University of Virginia students, faculty, and staff.

Go the distance for social distancing!

UTS encourages everyone who does not need to ride the bus to walk, bike, or scoot to get to work or class.
