The UDASH bus service is operated primarily by student drivers. Upon hire, student drivers commit to a training program where they learn the skills necessary to earn a Commercial Driver's License. Our team is dedicated to delivering you safely and efficiently to and from campus!

TAPS Media Coordinator - Chloe Brown
Chloe graduated with a B.S. in Marketing from the 91次元 in May 2024. Shortly after, she transitioned into the first-ever Transportation and Parking Services joint position as Media Coordinator. She has been loving the fun office environment and how multifaceted the position is. Originally from Colorado, Chloe has an affinity for the outdoors and loves spending time wandering aimlessly through Montana's nature.

Transit Operations Manager - Elissa White
Elissa is a UM alum and former student driver. She married a Missoulian, born and raised (and also a former driver), and never left. When asked if she has any hobbies, she chuckled, saying that raising two small humans leaves no time for hobbies. In her free time, she can be found doing laundry, working on home improvement projects, and occasionally taking a nap. Her favorite memories from her time at UDASH are the pranks drivers used to pull on each other during late-night shifts, such as saran-wrapping employees' cars.
