During the last Town Hall meeting related to UR Transportation, we heard your concerns about getting to UR Downtown. As a result, we have adjusted our routes.
UR transportation believes in a strong partnership with GRTC, but at the same time understands the value of a vibrant UR Downtown and the increased use and visitation to URD and downtown area.
Transportation Services continues to complete timing surveys of the Pulse and connection from Campus to URD and back. The results have not been conducive to the needs of our community.
Although we know GRTC is working thru issues to improve Pulse services, the Pulse has not met our full expectations. As a result, our current UR Downtown route system will continue through the end of the semester and Transportation Services will continue to monitor for any Pulse improvements.
Transportation Services strives to give great service to the UR community. Feel free to report a late bus or any problems with a route or stop. We can be reached at transportation@richmond.edu or 804-289-8703.
