The University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) Shuttle Bus is an intercampus shuttle service operated by the University of Toronto Mississauga that links the campus with the University of Toronto St. George and Sheridan College's Trafalgar campus.
The service is free for University of Toronto students whose home college is UTM holding a TCard, and available to other riders for a fare. In 2012âÂÂ13, the service carried approximately 340,000 riders annually, with an average monthly ridership of about 25,000 in 2019.
Some form of shuttle bus service has existed between the University of Toronto's Mississauga (UTM) and St. George campuses since before 1980. Before 1990, a similar service existed between the St. George and Scarborough (UTSC) campuses, however it was cancelled that year citing low ridership and high costs. Due to City of Toronto by-laws, the university would not be permitted to return service to a UTSCâÂÂSt. George shuttle since the amalgamation of Toronto, as the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is the exclusive and sole provider of public transportation services in the city. The UTM Shuttle Bus is unaffected by the rule because it does not run entirely within city limits, as it operates across transit jurisdictions of the TTC and MiWay.
The service's public routes operate between the University of Toronto's Mississauga and St. George campuses, and between UTM and Sheridan College's Trafalgar campus, respectively.
Service also operates private shuttle services for students in the Mississauga Academy of Medicine to travel between UTM and teaching hospitals in the Trillium Health Partners network.
The UTM Shuttle Bus fleet consists of white school bus-style vehicles under a lease. In 2017, the fleet was replaced by new buses equipped with WiFi capabilities and shock-proof technology.
