4. Create a unique name for the zone. Then click and drag the map and adjust the slider to create a zone on the UW campus within the purple area. (Tips: Entering a specific address in the search bar does not always yield helpful results, and a smaller zone is likely to be more helpful than a larger zone.)
   
   Depending on your notification settings, you will receive email alerts when the shuttle enters and/or leaves this zone. Then click Add.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Note: To receive shuttle notifications on your mobile device, you must set up notifications on the Here Comes the Bus mobile app.
