Service to run for KU football fans
The City of Lawrence invites KU football fans to park in Downtown Lawrence for free and catch a ride to and from Memorial Stadium during this football season. Downtown to Memorial Stadium service will be available for all six home-game Saturdays and for the evening KU/K-State game on October 14. Fans can enjoy Downtown restaurants and shops before and after the game.
Parking in the New Hampshire Street Parking Garage, 900 block of New Hampshire, and on the lower level and ramps of the Riverfront Parking Garage, 600 block of New Hampshire, will be free for weekend game days. For the October 14, KU/K-State game, parking in the downtown parking garages will be free after 4:00 p.m. The service to and from Memorial Stadium is $1 for all passengers. The service will run two hours prior to kick-off and one hour after the game or when no additional post-game passengers are present.
Downtown pick-up points for the shuttle are across the street and just north of the New Hampshire Street garage, and at the cutout in front of the Riverfront Garage. Buses will display: #11 Downtown/Football Service.
The service will run for each University of Kansas home football game. Bus service will pick up and drop off passengers at only three stops - Memorial Stadium, the New Hampshire Street Parking Garage and the Riverfront Parking Garage.
Downtown bus stops moved for construction
Bus stops in the downtown area have been moved due to the construction of a seven-story multi-use building at the southwest corner of 9th and New Hampshire. Effective August 2, buses will no longer stop along 9th Street between Vermont and New Hampshire streets.
The new downtown bus stop location for Routes 1, 3, 4, and 7 is on the east side of New Hampshire, north of 9th Street. The new downtown bus stop location for Routes 6, 10, and 11 is on the north side of 9th Street, between New Hampshire and Rhode Island streets.
The relocation of these bus stops is temporary, but will continue for the duration of the construction project, which is expected to last a year.

City and KU offer coordinated pass program
An agreement between the city and the university allows easier access to both bus systems. KU students, faculty and staff can ride the T fixed-route service free by showing a valid KU Card. Riders who show a valid T bus pass or transfer slip can ride the KU on Wheels buses for free. Services excluded from the agreement are T Lift, JayLift, SafeBus, and SafeRide.
