Ivy Tech students and staff have the choice to ride the Terre Haute City Bus as well as the CampusTransit Shuttle Bus at no charge by showing a valid Ivy Tech ID.[6]

Terre Haute transit uses a number of "Paratransit" vehicles manufactured by StarTrans. Fleet numbers range from 30-42 and a StarTrans Replica Trolley. Their fleet also includes two Azure Citibuses, hybrid type vehicles, that were entered service in May 2010.
