Grad Students - N-E Ride

The N-E Ride shuttles will not operate during Spring Break (March 13-17), and will resume operations on March 20.

Engineering shuttle between Lincoln and Omaha

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering partners with Arrow Stage Lines to offer free bus service between Lincoln and Omaha each weekday for students, faculty and staff, while classes are in session. Students and employees within the University of Nebraska system may use the shuttle. Priority for seating will be given to those in the College of Engineering.

Two buses start at Othmer Hall on City Campus and The Peter Kiewit Institute on Scott Campus in Omaha. From Omaha, they will stop at UNMC as well as I-80 Exit 439.

Schedule Changes / Inclement Weather

As well as when classes are not in session due to planned holidays or breaks, the college works with Arrow Stage Lines and other local entities to determine schedule changes due to inclement weather. There are several instances in which the shuttle can be affected:

• If either of the universities (UNL or UNO) cancel classes prior to morning classes beginning, the shuttles will not run.
• If classes are canceled on either campus during the day, Arrow will try to complete any shuttles already in transit and/or provide the next available shuttle
• If road travel is deemed by law enforcement to be hazardous, the shuttles will not run or the schedule may be adjusted.

If the shuttle is not in service due to weather/road conditions, students should communicate with their faculty concerning their ability to attend classes or other responsibilities.

TripShot App / Boarding Passes

The College of Engineering is now requiring a reservation to board the shuttle. Riders can make a reservation on the TripShot application (via phone app or unl.tripshot.com) at any time prior to the bus leaving its location - even a minute before - if there is a seat available (see instructions below).
