East Carolina University Student Transit Authority (ECUSTA) provides transit service to ECU students, faculty, and staff. We provide timely service to, from and around the ECU campus, off-campus housing areas, and several shopping/service areas. There is no fare - all you need to ride is a valid ECU One Card.

New: 507/907 Copper Beech and 508/908 The Bellamy have been added to both regular service and Pirate Express service.
Modified: 301 Gold will no longer operate on Saturday mornings; please check the schedule for complete service hours.
Modified: Night Dropoff has been split among three routes (801, 802 & 803); please check the schedule to see which one serves your route.
