UD bus routes have been optimized for the 2024-2025 academic year to meet several aims, including shorter transport times for riders and shorter wait times. Additionally, beginning Fall 2024, all UD buses will be tracked using the TransLoc app; the DoubleMapp app has being discontinued.  TransLoc shows the real-time location of each bus.

The UD Transportation web site is the portal for all UD bus information. Visit https://sites.udel.edu/transportation/ and click on the dropdown for ‘Bus Service’ for all relevant bus information. Changes due to holidays, academic breaks or weather emergencies are always posted on the website. The site also includes the link to the UD Bus Tracker software.
