Am I required to sign-up in order to take the Bearcat Airport Shuttle?

Sign-up is not required, but strongly encouraged to reduce wait times.

I submitted the sign-up form but didn't receive a confirmation email. Am I good to go? 

Submitting the sign-up form does not guarantee you a reservation on the shuttle for the selected time, so you will not receive a confirmation email. We do, however, use the information to assess if there are peak times where additional busses might be needed.

Where can I take the shuttle?

The shuttle leaves from CVG at Ground Transportation East, zone 5 (outside baggage claim).

Where does the shuttle stop?

The shuttle stops at five different spots on Uptown campus west, close to all major dorms. If you live in a UC residence hall, you can find the closest stop and walking times and directions on the front page.

A friend or family member is traveling with me – can they use the Bearcat Airport Shuttle, as well?

Yes, the shuttle is free for anyone accompanying you to Uptown campus.
