The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Rainbow Shuttle expanded its service in spring 2019 by adding the Parking Express route. The new route started Jan. 7, 2019, and makes the following stops: Zone 20 (lower parking structure) to Hawaiian Studies to St. Johns and then to Varney Circle.

“We’re excited to provide this expanded service for our UH community, especially those who may need to utilize shuttle transportation to conveniently get from lower campus to upper campus,” Commuter Services Manager Cate Matsushima said. “In addition, we want to promote more sustainable modes of transportation.”

Each Rainbow Shuttle seats 28 passengers at a time and offers air-conditioning, ADA access and bike racks for commuters. The shuttles operates Monday through Friday during the day throughout the fall and spring academic terms, and select routes are in service during evening hours and summer sessions.
