Centralized Shuttle Stop Project

Two projects are scheduled to begin after 2022 Commencement: a new centralized shuttle stop replacing Lot N and the extension of Wake Forest Road from the Reynolda Road entrance through Davis Field.

The new shuttle stop will increase efficiency for shuttle service across the Wake Forest Reynolda Campus while the extension of Wake Forest Road from the Reynolda Road entrance will improve traffic circulation and access to campus. The road extension will highlight the arch on Hearn Plaza as the central visual feature, maintaining the grand entrance experience.

Our Transportation and Parking team has been collaborating on these projects and provided their insights on what this means for Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS).

A centralized transportation center on campus is a welcomed enhancement to the University’s transportation system. Benefits include a one-stop location to utilize transportation services; shelters to protect passengers from the elements; monitors to track shuttles, seating, along with adding efficiencies to routes.

The new transportation hub allows TAPS to organize all of the campus shuttle stops into one safe centralized location. Thus increasing efficiency, encouraging ridership and enhancing the overall ridership experience utilizing new bus shelters and overhead monitors providing real time updates on transportation and campus services.
