If you're a college student in Denton without a car to take you from place to place, Denton County Transportation Authority has a variety of options to get around the city and some surrounding neighborhoods.
Whether you simply need to get across campus for your next class, or from your Denton apartment to a job interview in Lewisville, these are a few of your options.Â
The University of North Texas has various free shuttles with different routes that go through campus and around a few nearby locations in Denton, but mainly centered around campus. Download the DCTA transit app so you can keep track of the buses, routes, and schedules.
The schedule provided on the website at the moment is the limited summer schedule, not necessarily what the schedule and routes will be like for the fall semester.
