Primary Function of Organizational Unit
The East Carolina University Student Transit Authority (ECUSTA) is responsible for providing a full range of transit services essential to the successful operation of the university. ECUSTA receives the majority of its funding through a special transit fee that is assessed to students as part of their university fees. As an essential department within the Division of Student Affairs, ECUSTA has two primary purposes: (1) to provide safe, reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible transportation services to the university community; and (2) to provide a learning laboratory for students to learn and refine business management, communications, public relations, and planning skills. The department consists of full-time administrative staff, contract maintenance staff, and 140+ part-time student employees. Transit services are available to support student activities, academics, campus operations, residence life, and the campus community. Over 2.5 million passenger trips are provided annually to students, staff, faculty, and visitors on established, advertised routes, to, from and around East Carolina University and the City of Greenville. Services are provided with a fleet of over forty vehicles including: thirty, thirty-five, forty and sixty foot heavy-duty transit buses, passenger vans, and ADA compliant vehicles. In addition to bus services, ECUSTA provides a point-to-point van service called SafeRide to supplement the night time bus routes and to offer a safe, convenient transportation alternative to areas not specifically served by a bus.
Charter services are available to any university recognized organizations and groups attending university sponsored events any day of the year. ECUSTA is responsible for the collection and accounting of $500,000 in revenue from charter services and interior bus advertisements. ECUSTA is an integral part of ECU's strategic transportation and master plan for facilitating access to the campus. Transit services are an essential component of the off-campus living experience at ECU. Necessary transportation is provided to students who would not have any other means to get to and from campus. ECUSTA partners with apartment complexes greater than 500 beds to provide their student residents with express transit services during the academic sessions. ECUSTA is responsible for the collection and accounting of $910,000 in revenue for services rendered to these complexes.
