Shuttle Services

University Shuttles Overview

Bethel University shuttles are a free, on-call service provided to community members. The shuttles run seven days a week during the spring and fall semesters, but are reduced during the summer and other breaks. Shuttles do not run when the campus is closed. Bethel University shuttles are equipped with ADA lifts.

The shuttle stop locations can be found on the campus map or the shuttle stop information page.

On-Call Shuttle:

On-campus service hours

  • Monday-Friday 7:30am-9 pm
  • Saturday 9am-9pm
  • Sunday 12pm-9pm
Off-campus service hours
For the 2025-2026 academic year, off-campus schedules have been reduced to weekday evenings to improve on-campus service and wait-times. In addition, we will no longer service the Rosedale Mall/transit center stop. Community members are encouraged to utilize Metro Micro for these affected trips.
  • Monday-Friday 4-9 p.m.
  • Saturday 9 a.m.-9 p.m.
  • Sunday 12 p.m.-9 p.m.

The shuttle is available on an on-call, first-come, first-serve basis, for service to any of our approved shuttle stops. To request a ride, call 651.638.6000. 

Metro Micro

Metro Transit now offers Metro Micro, an on-call shuttle with service to and from any address in the service area. We encourage students to utilize this service for off-campus rides.

  • Metro Micro is free for riders making connections to other Metro Transit services (train, bus, etc)
  • Shuttles are equipped with bike racks and are ADA accessible.
  • Rides can be requested in the app, or by calling 651.602.1170.

For more information, see Metro Micro.

Security Safe Rides

Safety and Security provides safe ride escorts when shuttles are not operating. If you feel unsafe traveling alone on campus, from 3900 campus to Anderson, or need to get back to campus from the surrounding area, Safety and Security officers will provide an escort.

Now hiring student shuttle drivers

We are always looking for qualified drivers to support our shuttle program. Please email transportation@bethel.edu to inquire.
