is now known today as umbc transit as umbc shuttle . originally a simple single van service the shuttle was operated by the residential life office and staffed by part time undergraduate students . the original route transported graduate students to what is now known as the charlestown retirement community located off of maiden choice lane in catonsville . 5 as the university continued to grow the commuting students association elected to have a department established to specifically focus on developing services designed to address the transportation needs of commuting students at umbc . as a result the office of commuter affairs was established . in addition to the regular shuttle service a charter operation was established to provide fee based trips off campus in an effort to further support expansion and also to provide broader educational opportunities for the umbc community . in the late 1980s umbc shuttle became independent of the office of commuter affairs focusing specifically on transportation needs only and reporting to the university center . 6 as of 2004 the system has been rebranded as umbc transit . recent developments include the addition of new routes and replacing existing bus stop shelters on campus with modern green solar powered units . today the fleet is composed of state of the art transit buses . recently umbc transit launched transit tracker a real time gps driven application providing riders with convenient up to the minute access of current shuttle bus locations from any web accessible computer or mobile device . 7 in august 2014 service has expanded to two new lines that connect the campus to downtown baltimore . 8 these two lines downtown a b lines also connect the campus to the baltimore metro subway by way of
