The Panther Shuttle is a free bus service offered to UNI students and staff, and SafeRide is a free service for everyone. The Panther Shuttle runs a regular route between the UNI Campus and major off campus concentrations of students during the day, and SafeRide provides weekend transportation between campus, downtown, and major housing areas.

Route 9 is also free for UNI students and faculty/staff to ride, made possible by NISG and MET Transit. To take advantage of this service, simply present your UNI ID card at the time of the ride.

The Panther Shuttle was proposed by the Northern Iowa Student Government in the Fall of 1996. The trial run of the Shuttle was well recieved by the community, but it was limited to two and a half months in Fall 1997 and Spring 1998. The shuttle has returned for both Fall and Spring semesters in each of the last five years.

Now in its seventh year, the Panther Shuttle is designed to increase transportation convenience and reduce parking problems for university students. The service is free to students, faculty and staff. It funded in part by NISG, student activity fees, Public Safety/Parking Operations, and other campus & area supporters (see below).
