This includes both those who are affiliated with university (student, faculty, staff) and those who are not affiliated (visitors).

CTS operates the two Peay Pickup routes from 7:30 a.m. - 7 p.m., Monday- Friday, through final exams each semester. The Peay Pickup routes run on the north and south side of the campus, with Marion Street being the dividing line.  Each bus takes approximately 6-8 minutes to complete a route circuit.  Please have your University Peay Pickup card and APSU I.D. ready when boarding.
