UBC Accessibility Shuttle: now offering same-day pickups
The UBC Accessibility Shuttle is a free, shared ride service available by reservation for individuals with conditions that impact their mobility (faculty, staff, students and visitors), from designated stops around the central pedestrian areas of campus. The Accessibility Shuttle serves areas that can otherwise only be accessed by foot (i.e. areas with limited vehicle access and parking). Each UBC building in the service area is within 100 metres of a shuttle stop.
The shuttle program was launched in May, 2018, and ridership has been increasing over the summer and fall. To provide enhanced service to the UBC community, the shuttle is now offering same-day pickups. Riders are still encouraged to book in advance if possible, as rides are first-come, first serviced, and dependent on availability.
Visit the UBC Accessibility Shuttle page to learn more about the shuttle’s route, and how to book a ride.
