Director Jack Molenaar announced that the L route would be discontinued due to budget cuts, effective 28 August 2010.

[3] There was significant opposition to the move, especially from graduate students and Highland Park residents who had already made housing arrangements expecting the bus to be there.

After 600 people signed an online petition calling for its reinstitution,[4][5] a temporary LXc route was created for the 2010-11 school year, stopping at Cedar Lane every 30 minutes.

On October 21, 2010, First Transit was awarded a 5-year contract with an option to extend up to 15 years for the operation of New Brunswick Campus shuttle system.

[12] The new Rutgers-logo fleet of buses utilize the NextBus system and real-time status is available via the official Rutgers app.

[15][16] Closing College Avenue to non-bus motor vehicle traffic was also proposed, but indefinitely canceled in February 2010, due to excessive costs.

In fall 2021, a revised version of previous Letter Routes with redundant stops eliminated was introduced.

In fall 2020, 6 Color Routes were introduced to help with social distancing on Rutgers buses due to COVID-19.

They were based on regular intercampus routes, but featured less stops to reduce students traveling time on bus.

However, this plan was scrapped in summer 2021, and Letter Routes were brought back for Fall 2021 with slight modifications.
