The BeltLine's ATL Spoke, the city's first autonomous public transit shuttle, added a stop at the Atlanta University Center this week, timed to the fall semester at Spelman, Morehouse and Clark Atlanta. The roughly two-mile route already connects the West End MARTA station, the Southwest Trail and the Lee + White district.

Shuttles run seven days a week from noon to 10 p.m. every 12 to 15 minutes and stay free to riders. The pilot is backed by a $1.75 million state grant and operated by Beep.

What to watch

Whether the pilot adds stops or hours once fall-semester ridership comes in.
