Students can stay warm this winter by utilizing real-time tracking applications for both Off Campus College Transport (OCCT) and Broome County (BC) Transit. Both bus systems provide transit service to students at no cost with the swipe of their University ID.

OCCT and BC Transit have GPS tracking devices linked to applications that display where the buses are at all times and how far they are from any given stop location. This allows students to plan for bus arrival and spend less time in the cold. For OCCT service, students can download the free ETA SPOT application to their phones. For BC Transit service, students can download the free DoubleMap bus tracking application.

OCCT also offers a campus shuttle that loops around main campus, stopping at multiple locations. The campus shuttle is displayed in the ETA SPOT application for real-time tracking information.

For more information on transit services, visit the Transportation and Parking Services website.
