As we move forward through COVID-19

COVID-19 is a temporary situation and we will get through it ... Together!

Parking and Shuttles

  • The following routes will not be running during Fall 2020 to allow us to reallocate resources to respond to COVID-19:
    • Arlington Pilot Shuttle
    • Global to Metro
    • Gunston George
    • West Campus Shuttle (no West Campus permits are being sold for fall)
  • Burke VRE, Fairfax/SciTech, Gunston Mason, and Sandy Creek to Metro are all running. Please check schedules at http://shuttle.gmu.edu as there have been changes.
    • Please note:
      • All passengers and drivers on Mason Shuttles will wear a face covering or have a University exemption. No exceptions.
      • Seating has been reduced to 50 percent. This means a shuttle that would normally hold 32 people will now be full at 15-16 people (depending on configuration).  This is for your safety.
      • Allow significant extra time to get to your destination.
      • Keep a minimum of 6’ between passengers when waiting for shuttles.
      • Wear clothing for the weather, carry an umbrella.
