Liberty University shuttle service
On November 10, 2006, the GLTC entered an agreement with Liberty University to operate the shuttle bus service on its campus. Service would commence on January 15, 2007, with six buses serving the campus. The service operates from 7 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday; from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday; and from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Serving Liberty's main, north and east campuses, the system originally consisted of eight stops. Costing $1,000,000 annually for the service, Liberty students and employees can utilize the shuttle service without paying a fare each time.

By November 2007, the service saw its 1,000,000th passenger, which doubled the average annual ridership for the GLTC as a whole. With ridership for the service growing from 3,900 passengers per day in spring 2007 to 7,400 in fall 2007, university officials are working in conjunction with the GLTC to expand the service to include areas off campus in the area around the university.
