Shuttle Service


For your added safety and convenience, the University Police Department provides a shuttle bus service for the University community. Designated shuttle stops are conveniently located around campus. Shuttle bus hours are posted at each residential hall, the Student Center and the Police Department lobby.

Shuttles travel a specific route for the maximum convenience of all riders. Shuttle buses are equipped with a lift for anyone needing personal assistance. Please call the Police Department at (860) 465-5310 to make arrangements for this service.

Shuttle Location APP: Shuttle users can now locate the Eastern shuttle(s) in real-time by viewing Eastern's Shuttle Bus Information and Location Site. This service can also be downloaded as an app on your favorite smartphone. We hope this technology proves convenient for everyone that uses the campus shuttles. The app and webpage have all the information you need to take advantage of this program. Look for the TransLoc app to get this service on your smartphone.

The shuttle program is designed as a convenience for students. Please plan ample time for campus transportation.

To report shuttle APP or route issues, please contact the University Police at 860-465-5310 OPTION #3

    • RED: All of campus and the Ball Field complex until the lights go out

  • The shuttle app is called TransLoc and is available for Android and Apple devices. Once downloaded select Eastern Ct State University.

  • App is dependent on cell service for signal transmission and reception.

    App shows which shuttle(s) 1, 2 or 3 are in service (color coded red, blue & green).

    App shows the route the shuttle is driving (RED, BLUE or GREEN)

    Clicking on the shuttle shows the Shuttle Number and the shuttle speed.

    Clicking on a specific shuttle stop shows the estimated time of arrival at the stop.

  • Since the app is cell service dependent, any cellular interruptions can affect the shuttle app accuracy. There are many factors that can affect secular service including other radio, cellular or electrical interference.

    The shuttle taken off line for a scheduled break, transfer of drivers or emergency maintenance will affect the shuttle app timing.

    The shuttle deviates from the assigned campus route for a special detail or an ADA transport.

    Make sure you have selected the right route for the shuttle on duty or it will not show up on the app.

  • A complete shuttle route takes 23-27 minutes (please plan accordingly).
