shuttle-um
Shuttle-UM bus passes are available to City residents for free. Shuttle-UM is the University of Maryland’s bus system maintained by the University’s Department of Transportation Services, that has stops throughout campus and the City. Shuttle-UM routes primarily serve the University of Maryland campus. However, there are several weekday Shuttle-UM commuter routes that go as far as north as Columbia, as far west as Shady Grove and Silver Spring, and as far east as Greenbelt and New Carrollton.
The complimentary passes may be obtained from City buildings – residents can apply in-person during business hours. Residents must live in City limits, complete a Shuttle-UM Bus Pass application, and show a photo ID and proof of City residency. University of Maryland students do not need a resident pass to ride Shuttle-UM. The City pays the University $6,000 annually for this service to our residents.
