On Monday, April 28, a new service zone for the Cambus On-Demand Shuttle will launch with service to UI Health Care Medical Center North Liberty. The service zone will connect the Health Sciences Interchange, Research Park Campus, and Medical Center North Liberty Campus. The additional service will transport riders from the University of Iowa campus to and from the medical center. Service to UI Health Care Medical Center North Liberty will be available on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“On-demand service provides a flexible and more responsive option for connecting these two campus areas,” says Mia Brunelli, Cambus manager.
The new facility on UI Health Care’s North Liberty campus— located on the corner of Forevergreen Road and Highway 965—hosts patient services along with research facilities.
The Cambus On-Demand Shuttle is fare-free and accessible to the public. It provides service upon passenger request to stops within designated service zones. The service zones mark areas of campus where the shuttle can be requested to pick-up and drop-off passengers. Riders can also request pick-up and drop-off between two different zones.
