Wed, 22 Jan 2025 18:12:40 -0500

Dear Valued Riders and Campus Community,

In keeping with our mission to be Safe, Reliable, and Responsive, we are excited to announce several updates and additions to our bus routes to enhance accessibility and service for our riders. These changes will take effect on Monday, January 27, 2025, for the Spring 2025 Semester.

Please note that while the bus stop signs for these locations are currently being manufactured, they will be installed shortly after the launch date. Here are the details of these updates:

Arundel MARC:

New Stop (#8): New Ridge Rd. @BWI Marshall Airport Rental Car Facility.

This stop will provide convenient access for our campus community without adding travel time to the existing route.

Paradise:

New Stop (#32): Leeds Ave. & Beechfield Ave.

Downtown:

Relocated Stop (#6): Baltimore St. & MLK Jr. Blvd.

The stop has been moved to a more central location outside The Harbor Bank of Maryland building.

Catonsville:

Reinstalled Stop (#11): Frederick Rd & Bishop’s Ln.

During the upcoming stop installations, this stop will be reinstalled with new anti-theft hardware.

Route 40:

New Stop (#21): Ridge Rd. & Patapsco River Rd.

New Stop (#22): Patapsco River Rd. & Rogers Ave.

These stops will provide immediate access to students in these communities and decrease the walking distance between previous bus stop locations without deviating from the existing route.

We hope these updates improve your experience with our transit services. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 410-455-2454 or transit@umbc.edu.

Thank you for choosing UMBC Transit. Together, we are Driving Student Success!

Safe Travels,

Your Transit Team
