Ram Rush is the bus transportation service that transport students, faculty and staff
between the east and west campuses.
ASU operates and manages the bus transportation program between the East and West
campuses. The buses will operate on a set schedule.
Students, faculty or staff members who pay the annual transportation fee are validated
to ride the Ram Rush buses.
In order to ride the bus at no charge, the student, faculty, or staff member must
have a valid RAM ID card that, when swiped at the bus fare box, validates the qualified
rider. Students, faculty or staff may not ride RAM Rush without presenting a valid
ASU RAM ID upon embarking the bus. NO RAM ID, NO ENTRY!
The route will include two buses. One bus will start and end the day on the East Campus
and one bus will start and end the day on the West Campus.
A bus will begin each morning on the East Campus and another on the West Campus. Each
bus will run the route between the campuses approximately every 30 minutes beginning
at 7:00 A.M. through 9:00 P.M. Monday - Friday. The bus schedule is posted on the
Auxiliary Services-Ram Rush webpage and at each bus shelter location.
Ram Rush only runs when classes are in session.
