Iowa City Free Downtown Shuttle

During the fall and spring semesters, if you live on the east side of town, the Iowa City Shuttle may be your best option to get to campus. Best of all, there is no fare to ride this fun brightly colored red, yellow, and orange bus.  Iowa City Transit telephone number is 356-5151. This bus does not run during the summer.

Private companies provide weekend transportation to and from Iowa City and Chicago.  Check these websites for information:
