Topper Transit utilizes the latest in tracking technology. The NextBus system uses a geo-positioning system to track the location of each bus, on each route, and relay that information, in real-time, back to the information center. The system takes the guesswork out of the arrival times of the buses to particular stops.

Updated transit information is available through the iWKU app.  Click on the bus icon for information.  Riders can also call (270) 392-3193, enter the bus stop code, and listen to the arrival time of the next bus to that location. Riders with internet accessibility can log on to Nextbus obtain the same information.

The bus stop codes needed to operate the system can be found at each campus stop on all routes.
