The U of M Transitway is a busway operated by the University of Minnesota between its Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses. The Transitway is primarily used by the #121 Campus Connector route of the U of M Campus Shuttle, with additional seasonal services for the Minnesota State Fair and Minnesota Golden Gophers athletic events. The Transitway opened in 1992 as part of a project to ease parking demand on the Minneapolis campus.

The Transitway is 2.6 mi (4.2 km) long, with no intermediate stations. Its intersections are equipped with signal priority, and buses often run nonstop along the entire line. Bicyclists and emergency vehicles are also permitted in the Transitway, and a shared-use path runs parallel to the western half of the line.
