The chair of the committee, "Mack" McLarty, became president of the student government during the 1967-68 school year, and he launched a trial transit system using shuttles.

The shuttle vehicles were traded for repurposed school buses by the mid-1970s that primarily provided rides from outlying parking lots to the center of campus.

In 1980, the Facilities Management office overseeing the transit operation acquired five more buses and established five fixed routes.

The federal assistance allowed Razorback Transit to extend its routes beyond campus to serve Fayetteville, especially parts of town with higher density of college students living in apartments.
