Reserving A Bus or Vehicle
(only for UNA affiliated organizations or departments)

Bus/Vehicle Reservations are handled through the Department of Facilities Administration and Planning.

*Beginning September 1, 2022, the UNA buses in the Motor Pool will be limited to a 5 mile radius for ALL trips.  The safety of our employees and students is our number one priority and due to the age of the buses, we feel that it is no longer safe for them to travel long distances.  If and when breakdowns occur, we are not staffed 24 hours a day and this would leave personnel stranded for a minimum of 1 hour.   

If your department needs a bus for distances longer than this, please contact a charter company for a bus.

To reserve a bus/vehicle for your UNA department, organization or event; please email facilities@una.edu or call 256-765-4274.
