Jax Transit

Over the past several years, demand for campus transportation has continued to grow. While jsuRIDE has served students well, the increasing number of riders has made a fixed-route system the best way to provide reliable transportation during the busiest parts of the day.  

Jax Transit is designed to:  

• Provide more consistent and predictable transportation service
• Improve efficiency and coverage across campus
• Ensure reliable access during peak student demand times 
• Better support the growing number of students using transit services  

Jax Transit is available exclusively to currently enrolled Jax State students, faculty, and staff. The service is not open to the general public. 

If you're visiting campus and need assistance with directions or parking, please contact the appropriate campus office before your visit. 

Jax Transit connects residence halls, academic buildings, student service locations, commuter parking, and other key campus destinations through three color-coded routes: 

• Red Route – West side of campus
• Blue Route – East side of campus
• Gold Route – Off-campus destinations 

Bus stop locations and operating schedules will be shared before the system launches.  

As Jax Transit is introduced, there will be a transition period during which both Jax Transit and jsuRIDE will operate.

After the transition period, scheduled daytime service will be provided through Jax Transit. Additional transportation options available during evenings and other designated hours will be communicated before implementation. 

Jax Transit will begin on the first day of the Fall 2026 semester.

Route maps are available now on the Jax State Transportation website and have been shared through email. You can also download the Jax Transit app to learn more about:

• Bus stop locations
• Operating hours
• Estimated travel times
• Route guides to common campus destinations 

Yes.

Bus stop locations are currently being finalized and will be clearly identified before the semester begins.

All stop locations will be clearly marked before the semester begins. 

Before classes begin:

• Review the route maps.
• Identify the route that best serves your residence, classes, or parking area.
• Watch your Jax State email for updates on bus stop locations and operating schedules.  

As students become familiar with Jax Transit, there may be a short adjustment period. 

Students are encouraged to: 

• Allow a little extra travel time
• Review route information before leaving
• Ask Transportation staff for assistance if needed 

Additional staff will be available to help students during launch. 

If you regularly used jsuRIDE, you'll use Jax Transit for scheduled daytime transportation. Your jsuRIDE app should also automatically update to the Jax Transit app. Information about evening transportation options following the transition will be shared before implementation.  

To prepare: 

• Review the route maps.
• Become familiar with the scheduled route system.
• Watch for additional communications before launch.  

Students will receive updates through:  

• Official Jax State email communications
• The Jax State Transportation website
• University social media channels
• Digital signage and posted materials across campus
