Students, faculty, and staff can make use of a number of transportation services offered by the University – most, free of charge.

We provide a robust system of shuttles to help students, faculty, staff, and visitors navigate travel quickly between University-sponsored parking lots, main campus, local railroad and bus stations, downtown New Haven, and points west of campus on Boston Post Road, including major shopping centers. The University also has an additional transportation option for students with the ChargerGo bus pass.

If you have questions or concerns, email Julie Carbonella, Director of Operations, Department of Public Safety, at parking@newhaven.edu.

Info about shuttles for visitors can be found on the external website (no login required).

Downtown New Haven Shuttle-THIS SERVICE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED 

Know where our shuttles are located on their routes! This helps prevent wasted time standing at a shuttle stop and more time to do what you want to.

Access the University of New Haven shuttle tracking service at any time from any device. The shuttle tracker uses live GPS tracking to allow users to view real-time vehicle locations. The map shows the current location of all vehicles on route and provides an estimated time of arrival. Vehicle locations are updated every few seconds, and route and vehicle icons are color-coordinated on the map for easy identification.

General Description

The Accessible Van Service is a free service available to students, faculty, staff and the general public. The service provides safe and timely campus transportation. Our accessible van is equipped with a manual wheelchair ramp and our drivers are trained in the use of this vehicle and the requirements for safe wheelchair accessibility.

The Accessible Van Service gives priority to those passengers with temporary or permanent disabilities. Student passengers with permanent disabilities or temporary medical conditions must register through the Accessibility Resource Center (ARC). Employee passengers with permanent disabilities or temporary medical conditions must register through the Human Resources Office. All passengers must provide adequate documentation as required by either ARC or HR to use this service. Once registered, those requesting a pick-up must call University Police Dispatch at (203) 932-7014.

The accessible van will be available to individuals with disabilities on an as-needed basis. Once registered, call University Police Dispatch at 203-932-7014 to request a pick-up as needed during normal service hours. Pick-ups are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please contact the University Police Department for hours of operation 203-932-7014

No Shows

If a passenger does not show up at a pick-up location within five minutes of the designated time, the pick-up is designated a “No-Show” and the AVS Van will leave for its next pick-up. If you then call needing a ride, please keep in mind that the van may not be able to return immediately.

If a student passenger consistently No-Shows (two times or more in a week), the student will be referred to the Dean of Students which may result in suspension of van privileges. Employees that consistently No-Show (two times or more in a week) will receive a warning and referred to Human Resources which may result in suspension of van services.

As a courtesy, please inform our dispatcher if you will not be needing any of your scheduled pick-ups, as it may prevent a fellow passenger from obtaining one.

Passenger/Driver Relations

Drivers are expected to be polite and courteous to passengers and the same expectation applies to passengers utilizing this service. If you ever have any complaints about a driver’s behavior, please contact Julie Carbonella, Public Safety Director of Operations via email at jcarbonella@newhaven.edu.

Van drivers are required to remain in the vehicle at all times and are only able to exit the van in order to open vehicle doors and deploy/retract the manual ramp for wheelchair passengers. Van drivers are not able to assist in loading persons or personal items onto the vehicle so please plan accordingly.

Van drivers are required to wear seat belts. Cellphone use and the use of tobacco products are strictly prohibited.

Questions If you have any questions about the service, please feel free to contact Julie Carbonella, Public Safety Director of Operations, via email at jcarbonella@newhaven.edu.
