The Purple, Express, Orange and Gray routes begin four hours before kickoff and stop two hours after the game has ended. Two paratransit-equipped buses shuttle between the stadium and the Hill Street parking lots behind the Convocation Center, beginning four hours before the game and running until the fourth quarter; from the start of the fourth quarter, paratransit shuttles run from the Stadium East Gate to the Hill Street parking lot for approximately two hours, and a 30-minute traffic delay is expected at the end of the game. On home game days a shuttle also connects the Poplar Grove Connector parking lot and the Peacock Traffic Circle. If a game is on a weekday, the normal bus schedule runs until 10 p.m. and the game day schedules run after that. All scheduled times depend on traffic.
