The free express shuttle between the Fairfax and Prince William Campuses will resume operations on Monday, Aug. 30. This year, two buses will shuttle between the campuses in an effort to reduce waiting time at each location.

Departure is from the entrance of the PE Building and the CUE bus stop at the Fairfax Campus, and from the Occoquan Building at the Prince William Campus.
