A blue bus pulls into the Central Campus Transit Center. The display on the top of the bus reads To Glazier Way.

As the University of Michigan welcomes students back for the new academic year, campus is bustling with activity. In addition to the usual excitement of a new semester, construction season has not yet wrapped up. These factors are contributing to significant traffic congestion throughout campus.

What You Need to Know:

  • Longer Transit Times: Due to the traffic congestion, please anticipate longer travel times for both personal and public transportation. Buses, shuttles, and ride-sharing services may be delayed.
  • Plan Accordingly: We advise all faculty, staff, students, and visitors to allow extra time for their commutes and plan their routes to avoid congested areas whenever possible.

Tips for Managing the Congestion:

  • Leave Early: Give yourself additional time to reach your destination.
  • Stay Informed: Follow local traffic updates and a route planner for real-time traffic congestion information.
  • Use Alternative Routes: If possible, identify less congested routes to circumvent major bottlenecks.

LTP appreciates your understanding and patience as we navigate these initial busy weeks and work to get you to your destinations safely.

Thank you for your cooperation.
