UF Game Day Shuttle 2026: Lots, Price, and Hours

UF runs a park-and-ride Game Day Shuttle for 2026 home football games from three lots around Gainesville (checked October 1, 2026). Fans still search for it as the Gator Aider; UF's page now calls it the Game Day Shuttle.

The three park-and-ride locations

• Celebration Pointe (behind Regal Cinemas, in front of the parking garage)
• UF Park and Ride #2 (3497 Hull Road)
• Garage 109 (south of Archer Road on Gale Lemerand Drive)

UF's own shuttles page is the source of record and it has changed once already this year. We re-check it and update this page.

The city's Gator Aider page

The City of Gainesville's RTS Gator Aider page still uses the old name, but when we checked on October 2, 2026 it listed the 2026 home dates as TBD and nothing else: no lots, prices or drop-off. UF's shuttles page is the one with the 2026 details, so that is what this guide follows.

Price and hours

• $20 per adult, $10 per child under 12, bought at the park-and-ride location on gameday.
• Service runs from 3 hours before the game until kickoff, with return shuttles beginning in the 4th quarter.
• Drop-off at the stadium: Van Fleet Hall. After the game, Garage 109 shuttles pick up on Gale Lemerand Drive just south of the Stadium Road intersection; Celebration Pointe and Park and Ride shuttles pick up at Van Fleet Hall.

Shuttle or driveway?

The shuttle trades money for time: cheap, but you ride on its schedule and queue with the crowd when it ends. A reserved driveway costs more and puts your own car a walk from the gates with no line afterward. On the biggest games - Ole Miss, Oklahoma - many fans do one of each across the season and decide which Saturday deserves which.
