Business Services at the University of Virginia (UVA) seeks applications for UTS On Demand Driver for the department of Parking & Transportation . UTS OnDemand is a fare-free van shuttle service that provides rides for University of Virginia students and staff to areas in and around Grounds during overnight hours.

To achieve its mission, the University must be a place in which all faculty, students, and staff are active participants in its work, where those groups historically excluded from participation in University life are present in numbers that prevent isolation of the spirit and of the mind, and where each individual is conscious of how they contribute to the creation and dissemination of knowledge that enhances the well-being of our community, our state, our nation, and the world.
