TigerTransit/Shuttle Services
Princeton University’s new TigerTransit transportation system operates on a fixed route schedule during the academic year, providing safe, convenient and reliable transportation throughout the Princeton campus and surrounding community.

The new TigerTransit transportation system offers improved service levels with stops at academic and administrative buildings; faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate student housing; Nassau Street; and the Forrestal Campus and Princeton Plasma Physics Lab.

To support the Sustainability and Campus Plans, the permanent TigerTransit buses, which will be phased in by September 2009, will be low-floor, fully accessible, run on B20 biodiesel fuel and have bike racks. The TigerTransit fleet will be comprised of new 30' buses and clearly identified as Princeton University vehicles. For more information on the new TigerTransit fleet, click here.

TigerTransit buses are now equipped with web-based Global Positioning Systems (GPS) that can track buses in real-time (TigerTracker). Riders will be able to track the location of any TigerTransit bus on any route online or by cell phone.

Other new TigerTransit services include stops with more shelters, connections to NJ Transit and Princeton Borough FreeB shuttle, service to local shopping centers, an improved on-demand service and extended hours.

For service disruptions please contact Matthew Brown at 258-4548, email mdbrown@princeton.edu or contact First Transit directly at 609-587-1070.
