ANNOUNCEMENTS

Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) at The University of Texas at El Paso announced that the Miner Metro Shuttle Service would operate the Orange and Campbell routes only to start the fall 2021 semester due to a lack of qualified drivers.

The West (Orange) route runs from Miner Canyon residential housing on the north end of campus to Miner Alley, located behind the Sun Bowl Parking Garage. The Campbell (Red) route serves those who travel between the Mike Loya Academic Services Building on the south end of campus and the Campbell Building, 1101 N. Campbell St. 

Both routes will run non-stop from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and should operate on 15-minute intervals if traffic allows. Decisions were based on past ridership numbers. The office will bring the additional routes online as more drivers are hired.  The popular GPS ap that shows the shuttle location along their routes is not available at this time, but will be in the future. 

 Miner Metro is a form of public transportation that serves UTEP students, employees and official visitors. As a result, the shuttles follow federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mandates that riders must wear a face covering while aboard the shuttle with few health and age-related exceptions posted inside the shuttles.
