Titan Transit

About
An Oshkosh Student Association (OSA) initiative, the late night service and extension of current city services, serve to provide students with a safe, convenient, cheaper and greener mode of transportation. As the importance of safety on campuses nationwide increases, this program is one way that will assist students with their own safety, to and from campus. Routes are designed to focus on the campus and the needs of the students, whether their destination is entertainment, employment, necessity, or academics. As gas prices continue to rise; and insurance rates increase; and maintenance costs soar; this program will save the students money by offering a far cheaper alternative than using a personal vehicle. As a university that is committed to the highest of green standards, this initiative aligns with our campus sustainability plan.



Since Titan Transit runs based on UW Oshkosh's academic schedule, there are certain dates in which it doesn't run. View Titan Transit's No Service Dates now.
