Code of Conduct

Transit riders have responsibilities. This code of conduct applies to all riders.

Things to know

Do not distract the driver or bother others

Interfering with the safe operation of a transit vehicle is hazardous to you and everyone else.

Make the ride comfortable for everyone

Designated seats at the front of every bus are reserved for seniors and customers with disabilities. Please surrender your seat to these customers when they board.

Keep it clean

Respect those who will ride after you. Keep your feet off the seats and take litter when you leave.

No shirt, no shoes, no service

Just like in stores and other businesses, customers without shirts or shoes will be refused service.

No unauthorized animals

Any animal not listed in this policy may not be brought on to university public transportation at any time. Service animals are exempt.

No smoking

The University is a smoke and tobacco-free campus, including buses and paratransit vehicles.

Use headphones and respect others' privacy

Go for it and vibe – but own that soundtrack. Keep it to yourself, no need to share with the world.

Speak quietly and watch your language

If you talk on your phone, remember you have a built-in audience. Be mindful of your language, keep your voice low and your call brief. Using profanity or derogatory statements is not tolerated on buses or trains.

No eating or drinks in uncovered containers

You’re welcome to bring your morning coffee or lunch with you. Just make sure it’s in a sealed container—and take the container off the bus with you when you leave.
