Campus Shuttle Bus: The shuttle bus service is air-conditioned and wheel chair accessible. Anyone with disabilities can access the shuttle bus from any "UMKC Bus Stop". Any special needs should be coordinated through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.
The times listed on the bus schedule are departure times and we recommend that you are at the bus stop about 5 minutes early.
We try very hard to stay on schedule, unfortunately, traffic congestion, road
construction, and weather all have an impact on actual arrival and departure
times. It is strongly suggested that you allow plenty of time to get to your
destination.
