Night Pilot
Night Pilot is UTS's late-night route service for traveling Grounds.
UVA Ride
UVA Ride is a fare-free, “by request” shuttle service that provides rides for University students, faculty, staff and contractors to areas in and around Grounds during overnight hours. UVA Ride uses fixed pick-up and drop-off locations and there are over 50 locations to choose from in and around Grounds. Rides are booked from the UVA Ride tab in the Transloc app. Users experiencing technical difficulties may call the dispatcher at 434-924-7711 for assistance with ride booking.
When the Night Pilot is in service, available UVA Ride locations within the Night Pilot route area are limited to restricted use. A few hub locations contain the phrase “[RESTRICTED USE].” Locations designated this way cannot be paired with another restricted-use location. Riders may need to use both OnDemand and the Night Pilot to reach their destination. If so, riders should use the Shannon Library hub as their connection point.

To request a ride on UVA Ride, the rider needs to submit a ride request using the TransLoc app.
Instructions:
- Log into the TransLoc app using your University Account (NetBadge)
- Select the OnDemand tab along the bottom of the screen, and tap the screen to open the UVA Ride service map.
- Input the pickup and drop off locations. There are two ways to do this:
- Select the pickup or drop off text field, type the location name, and select the appropriate location, or
- Select a location from the pins on the map, then select whether it is the pickup or drop off location.
- Select "Request Ride."
- Go to the requested pickup location. You should be at the location when the van arrives as if you were waiting for the bus. If you are not at the location when the van arrives, the driver will only wait three minutes before departing. You may configure your Transloc app settings so that you receive a notification when the driver is about one minute away from the pickup location.
If there are any problems using the app or there is a question/concern, the rider can reach the UVA Ride dispatcher at 434-924-7711 during operating hours.
