An important event in transportation in Charlottesville, Virginia occurred in 1970, when the University of Virginia began its own bus service. The significance of this event is that the bus service, in a sense, enlarged the University. That is, students could reside off grounds and still be able to commute to classes. This opened the door to develop student housing projects off grounds. In addition, the University now could add new facilities further from central grounds and still have them accessible to students.
