Redbird Ride

The Redbird Express Campus Shuttle provides transportation around Illinois State University campus, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during fall and spring semester on all regularly scheduled class days.

You do not have to be at a point where a bus-stop sign is located in order to board a bus. The bus driver will stop and allow you to board or alight the bus at any corner where it is safe to stop. If the driver cannot stop at the point you wish to board or alight the bus, the driver will stop at the nearest possible location where it is safe to make the stop.

This service is free to all faculty, staff, students and visitors of Illinois State University.

There are two routes that provide transportation around campus. One route runs from Tri-Towers to East Campus, and one route runs from Atkin/Colby to East Campus.

Special Bus Services

(does redbird ride provide this as well? - rae)

Because Illinois State University strives to accommodate all riders, the NiteRide bus service operates a special curb-to-curb service. The service area of the Special Service Bus is a 3/4 mile radius of the NiteRide fixed route service area.

Eligibility for this bus service is based on criteria which have been adopted by the Bloomington-Normal Public Transit System (BNPTS) and the Office of Parking and Transportation. Special bus service is available during the same operating hours and on the same days as the NiteRide fixed route services. The special service bus is available by (next day) reservation only. For information about reservations, call NiteRide at 438-7433 (voice) or 438-8080 (TTD) between 7:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.

For detailed information regarding eligibility criteria and reservations, please call Bloomington-Normal Public Transit System at 828-7511 (voice or TDD) between 6:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
