1. Where Do I Find Bus Stop Numbers? (Back to Top)
Bus Stop Numbers can be found on the backside of most UTS bus stops. On certain stops where the backside of the sign is not visible, the 5-digit number is posted under, above, or to the side of the stop.
Bus Stop Numbers can also be found on our Online Website by viewing the map or using the alphabetical table listed underneath the map.
Please contact us at 434-924-7711 if you are unable to locate the 5-digit stop number, or if the 5-digit stop number has been damaged or is missing. |

2. How Do I Read the Online Search Results? (Back to Top)
Once you've correctly entered a 5-digit bus stop number into our Online Website, or on the U.Va mobile website, the U-Track system will display all buses that are less than thirty minutes away from the stop you entered. Depending on the stop you select, the results will display arriving UTS and Charlottesville Transit Service (CTS) buses. The results are presented in a basic table, with the header displaying the stop name, and three columns displaying (from left to right) the Route Number/Name, Route Destination, and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). The result page automatically refreshes as buses approach.

3. How Do I Find Information About Charlottesville Transit's Bus Tracker (CTS)?
(Back to Top)
This new GPS bus tracking system is a shared project with Charlottesville Transit Service. The UTS HoosWhere website only lists UTS bus stops and those stops that are shared by UTS and CTS. Predictions for shared stops will include all UTS and CTS buses arriving within the next thirty minutes.
CTS will be providing riders information on their website, as well as at their central dispatch station (310 West Main Street), and with Bus Finders at certain stops around Charlottesville starting on March 24, 2008. Their Bus Finders will look much like UTS's Bus Finders, but will be red instead of blue. For more information please visit their website at http://www.charlottesville.org/transit or call them at 434-296-RIDE (434-296-7433). |

The "inbound" and "outbound" labels are used to designate which side of the street certain bus stops are on. Stops on the Blue and Orange routes are considered "inbound" when headed towards Central Grounds, and designated as "outbound" when traveling away from Central Grounds. |
