Shuttle–UM is a transit system operated by the Department of Transportation Services (DOTS) at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). The network provides regular, commuter, night, and demand responsive services to campus and surrounding areas. Shuttle-UM is funded by various student fees and university departments, allowing passengers to ride fare free. In late 2015, the system reported an annual ridership of nearly 3 million passengers. The agency expanded to the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) in 2012, which coincided with the relocation of maintenance and administrative operations to an on-campus facility.
