Groome Transportation is The University of Toledo's on-campus shuttle service operator.  Together, our goal is to enhance convenience and safety for the University's current student population, as well as our active faculty and staff. Please carry your Rocket Card or have your Rocket Mobile ID ready for verification purposes when asked by our Lift drivers.

During spring and fall semesters only, shuttle services will continuously run the Blue Loop on Main Campus and split off for runs to the Center for the Visual Arts at the Toledo Museum of Art and Health Science Campus at scheduled times.

The vehicles will be ADA compliant to provide accessible entrance and exit for riders with mobility issues and feature security cameras for audio-video surveillance.
