Pittsburgh Regional Transit & Campus Transportation
Campus Shuttle & NightSafe Transit
The university operates two separate transportation systems for the convenience and safety of students, faculty and staff – the Shuttle Service and NightSafe Transit. The shuttle service runs two different routes, one that travels through the Oakland area of the city and has multiple stops, and a second that travels to the Pittsburgh Technology Center (PTC) in Hazelwood. A valid Carnegie Mellon ID Card is required in order to use the Shuttle Service. It is available to students, faculty, and staff cardholders. NightSafe Transit is an evening and night-time transportation service that operates from 6:30 p.m. to 4:15 a.m. The mission of NightSafe Transit is to get CMU community members home safely by transporting them to the intersection nearest their residence.
For more information about these services, please visit the Transportation Services website.
