The UConn Transportation Services, or HuskyGo, is a campus shuttle service for the University of Connecticut.
History
The HuskyGo campus shuttle was originally operated in-house by the University of Connecticut, is currently operated by the Windham Region Transit District. On October 28th, 2020, operations and vehicle responsibilities were turned over to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, on behalf of WRTD, to help UConn save on the operational and capital costs of running the bus service in-house, particularly concerning the conversion of the bus fleet to 100% zero-emissions electric vehicles. Integration of the two systems continued over early 2021, and by August 1st, 2021, WRTD was providing maintenance services for HuskyGo. The merger was finalized with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement in October 2021 between UConn and CTDOT on behalf of WRTD. Since the merger, HuskyGo retains its separate branding identity and some vehicles remain stored at UConn's small storage lot.
