On-Campus Shuttle

Noelani Shuttle Stop

University of Hawaii at Manoa Parking and Transportation Services provides a free on-campus shuttle bus service for faculty, staff, students and visitors. The Rainbow shuttle bus system consists of various shuttle routes which provides transportation throughout the campus during the Fall and Spring semesters. Modified routes and schedules operate during semester breaks. See day and night shuttle schedules below

All shuttles are air-conditioned. Residents may find this service useful as some routes during the day can travel to local shopping areas. Route F1 (Faculty Housing) goes to the Astronomy building next to the Manoa Marketplace. Route J1 (JCC and Lower Campus) goes to Pucks Alley and the Japanese Cultural Center across from Star Market.
