The Capital Area Transportation Authority will implement service changes during Michigan State University’s summer break. The changes will be effective Monday, May 5, through Sunday, Aug. 17.  

Spartan Service operating on MSU’s campus will change as follows: 

  • Weekday service (Routes 30, 31, 33, 38 and 39) will conclude late Friday/early Saturday morning, May 2 & 3. 
  • Weekend service (Routes 34, 35, 36 and Lot Link) will conclude early Monday morning, May 5. 
  • Night Owl will conclude Monday morning, May 5.  
  • Route 32 Commuter Lot/Snyder Hall/Clinical Center: The route will operate weekdays, 7 a.m. to 7:25 p.m., at a reduced frequency during the break. Buses will depart the MSU-CTC/Ramp 1 every 30 minutes, rather than every 15 minutes.  

Service changes will also be in effect for the following routes during the summer:
