University & campus

Move your campus.
Not your budget.

Class change rushes overwhelm golf carts. Campus buses are too expensive for summer. FlexTram is a campus shuttle that scales — up for fall semester, down for breaks — carrying up to 27 students per trip with one driver and full ADA compliance.

The problem

What campus transportation
is really costing you

Class change crush
Thousands of students moving between buildings in a 15-minute window. Golf carts carry 6 at a time — they can't keep up with the volume.
Sprawling campus, limited budget
Campus bus systems are expensive to run year-round. But your campus is too large for students to walk between buildings comfortably.
ADA compliance requirements
Federal law requires accessible campus transportation. Golf carts don't meet the standard. Retrofitting vans with lifts is slow and expensive.
Summer and break waste
Your full bus fleet runs during summer session with 20% of the students. You're paying for capacity you don't need 4 months a year.

The solution

A campus shuttle that flexes
with the academic calendar.

FlexTram is a campus people mover designed for university life. A single compact tram carries up to 27 students per trip between residence halls, academic buildings, parking lots, and athletic facilities — with one driver.

Scale up for fall semester when enrollment peaks. Scale down for summer and winter break. No year-round bus contract, no idle fleet. FlexTram stores compactly and deploys when you need it — including for special events like homecoming, graduation, and football games.

FlexTram is ADA compliant as standard and compact and agile — built for narrow campus paths and tight turns near academic buildings. It's the golf cart alternative that meets your accessibility requirements and your budget.

Common questions

Can FlexTram replace a campus bus system?

FlexTram can supplement or replace campus buses depending on your campus size and ridership. For campuses under 5,000 students, FlexTram often replaces buses entirely at 50-60% lower cost. Larger campuses typically use FlexTram for secondary routes and event-day surge.

Is FlexTram ADA compliant for university campus transportation?

Yes. ADA accessibility is standard — not an add-on. FlexTram meets federal accessibility requirements for campus transportation with accessible boarding and appropriate aisle widths.

Can we scale FlexTram for the academic calendar?

Absolutely. Run more trams during fall and spring semesters, reduce for summer and breaks. FlexTram stores compactly — no year-round contract or idle fleet costs during low-enrollment periods.

Can FlexTram navigate campus pedestrian paths?

Yes. FlexTram is designed for low-speed environments and can navigate campus paths, pedestrian areas, and shared-use corridors that full-size buses can't access.

Can FlexTram be used for campus events like homecoming or graduation?

Yes. FlexTram deploys pop-up shuttle loops for events in hours. Add trams for homecoming, graduation, or football games — then return to normal routes when the event ends.
