Demand and Response Transit (DART)

Melissa Oliver, 924-3095

DART Ride Request Line, 924-1771

DART is a door-to-door transportation service. It is free to qualified students and employees with disabilities. The University Transportation Service Demand and Respond Transportation Service (UTS DART) has been developed to provide transportation to those who because of disability are unable to use the regular fixed route bus service. The service area includes origin and destination points within the general service area of the University Transit System. Both origin and destination points must be within the service area. The Fontaine Research Park is included in the service area for DART participants. An application must be completed to establish individual needs and service requirements. Forms are available from the Office of the Assistant to the ADA Coordinator at the Law School, The Learning Needs and Evaluation Center in Elson Hall, Student Health in Elson Hall, Employee Health in the West Complex of the Medical Center, or the Department of Parking and Transportation at 1101 Millmont Street. For more detailed service information, please visit our Web site.
