Transportation Support

Parking & Transportation is available to provide transportation support using 12-passenger vans and coordinate our contracted charter groups for larger movements. We support departmental and student group needs for movement both on and off campus. Our rates are extremely competitive and designed to assist departments with affordable transportation support. All trips originate and end on campus.

We strive to support all requests in house with our staff of student drivers, however, we may be unable to support larger, more complex events with our own vehicles and staff. If we cannot support your request ourselves we will work with university-contracted providers to obtain the most competitive rate.

To request support, submit the form below and a transportation coordinator will be in touch to discuss your travel plans. Minimum notice required is five business days, however the best pricing can be obtained with a longer lead time. Large group movements (>21) should provide 30 days notice.
