Hillcrest/Campus Shuttle Service Changes

Beginning Monday, April 2, 2007, Transportation & Parking Services will implement route improvements and relocate stops for the Hillcrest/Campus Shuttle. These improvements will increase daytime service frequency and make commuting between the Hillcrest and La Jolla Medical Centers more convenient for passengers.

Consolidation of Hillcrest/Campus and Med Center Connector Shuttle Routes:

The Hillcrest/Campus Shuttle and Med Center Connector routes will become one route providing service between the Hillcrest and La Jolla Medical Centers. For our campus commuters, the Hillcrest/Campus Shuttle will stop at the Gilman/Myers intersection near the School of Medicine. Riders will no longer need to transfer shuttles to travel between the Hillcrest and La Jolla Medical Centers. Campus riders traveling to the La Jolla Medical Center must board on the south side of the Gilman/Myers intersection. Shuttles will have a 5-minute layover at the La Jolla Medical Center Campus Point Transit stop. Campus riders traveling to the Hillcrest Medical Center must board on the north side of the Gilman/Myers intersection. Signs listing departure times will be installed at both Gilman/Myers and the Campus Point shuttle stops.

Relocation of Medical Center, Hillcrest Shuttle Stop:

Due to construction on Dickinson Street, the shuttle stop serving the Hillcrest/Campus and Hillcrest/Old Town Transit Center Shuttles will be temporarily relocated to Arbor Drive west of the main hospital entrance across the street from the Arbor Parking Structure. The shuttles will travel clockwise around the Medical Center instead of the current counter clockwise direction.
