About CatawbaGO in Salisbury
CatawbaGO operates as a hybrid shuttle program combining fixed routes during peak class hours with on-demand service during evenings and weekends. Fixed routes connect residential halls, academic buildings, the student center, athletic facilities, and downtown Salisbury on a published schedule. On-demand service allows students to request point-to-point rides across campus and to nearby destinations like grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment. The program runs seven days a week during the academic year with expanded hours during exam periods and special events. Every ride is tracked through the Slidr rider app, which provides real-time vehicle location, estimated arrival times, and rider ratings. Slidr provides monthly ridership reports to the Catawba administration showing completion rates, average wait times, peak demand periods, and rider satisfaction scores. CatawbaGO demonstrates how a small college with under 1,500 students can operate a professional-grade shuttle program without managing vehicles, drivers, or technology in-house.
