Transit On-Demand

Transit On-Demand is a fare-free, point-to-point van service that promotes safe travel both on and off campus. It’s available to all students, faculty, and staff with a valid ECU 1 Card. This service is especially popular among students living on campus who want to explore Greenville during the evenings and weekends. Whether you’re headed to nearby shopping centers, restaurants, or local hangout spots, Transit On-Demand provides an easy and convenient way to get there—no car needed.

As a shared-ride system, multiple passengers may be picked up or dropped off along your trip. This approach helps us serve more riders efficiently while maintaining timely service.

While all trips must stay within the established service boundaries, the coverage area includes many popular destinations not served by regular bus routes. Please call our office at (252) 328-7433 or (252) ECU-RIDE if you would like help planning or booking your trip.
