Uptown/Downtown Shuttle
Uptown-Downtown ShuttleWeekday Shuttle Service between campuses, 7 A.M. - 10:40 p.m. This is a full-sized bus that stops near the University Center on the Uptown Campus, the Medical School on Tulane Avenue, and in front of the Tidewater Building on Canal St. In general, the shuttle leaves the uptown campus on the hour and arrives at the medical school 15 minutes later. It leaves the SPHTM about 25 minutes past the hour. The shuttle schedule varies somewhat during peak hours and changes in the summer months. The service is contracted out to a local bus tour company.

Uptown Square Shuttle
Provides continuous service between Uptown Square, 2000 block of Broadway, and the Uptown campus. The shuttle operates Monday-Thursday from 7:40 AM until 5:10 PM; with service to 5:50 PM on Fridays. Monday-Thursday, after 5:10 PM, the Off/On campus shuttle is available for transportation to Uptown Square until 2:AM. If you have a meeting on the uptown campus and will be driving your own car, the Uptown Square location is often your best bet for parking availability. [See the Shuttle schedule. [See a map]


On-Call Shuttle Service
We are working on an on-call shuttle service that would be available for researchers with cross-campus collaborations.




 
Special Transportation Arrangements for Collaborators

We are working with the Sr. Vice-President for Facilities Services to arrange an on-call shuttle service between campuses that would be available for collaborators. Contact 988-3390 or govtaff@tulane.edu for more information.

Shuttle Tips

When using the shuttle to return to the uptown campus from the Health Sciences Center, remember that after the bus stops in front of the Medical School building it then goes to the SPHTM stop and waits there for about ten minutes before starting its return trip.

When scheduling meetings, faculty should remember to consider the shuttle arrival times. To minimize wasted time for shuttle users, meetings at the TUHSC campus should be scheduled on the half-hour, while meetings on the uptown campus should be scheduled on the hour.
