To promote safe and reasonable access to Campus for all University Employees, Students, and Guests.
In 1985, Parking & Transportation Services (PTS) was created to specifically deal with parking and transit issues for the University of Kentucky campus. Originally, the department had only one fifteen-passenger bus that operated on the Night Route, and staff consisted mostly of part-time employees and students. The department has grown over the years. As of December 2006, PTS has 83 full time employees, four offices and seven bus routes.
In 2003, PTS switched from a state-funded department to an auxiliary service. The change means that PTS no longer receives monies from the general fund, and is self-supported.
