The University of Richmond offers a robust transportation system designed to increase connectivity between campus and the city of Richmond while dramatically furthering the University's commitment to sustainability.
UR Transportation is partnering with Uber to UR Downtown piloting a program to provide transportation to and from our campus and UR Downtown (626 E. Broad Street). The current UR Downtown Shuttle will operate through Friday, September 20, 2019.
Thursday, September 12, 2019, from 2-4pm is UR Transportation Day. Come out to our table outside of Tyler Haynes Commons, outside the Transportation HUB, and learn about:
- Our shuttles
- GRTC (City of Richmond's bus service)
- Zipcars
- New UBER program to UR Downtown
- Play games and win prizes.
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.
