Motor Vehicles on Campus

First-year Students
Bucknell's long-standing policy is that first-year students are not permitted to bring or possess motor vehicles on the campus or in the Lewisburg area. This restriction applies to any vehicle regardless of its type, ownership, or registration. This regulation is in effect seven days a week when the university is in session. No warnings are given. To enforce this policy, the Department of Public Safety checks vehicles on campus and in the Lewisburg area daily.

Transportation
Students who have vehicles often take student passengers if they live nearby or are on the way. Students can sign up for or offer rides on the ride board located in the Elaine Langone Center. This service is useful for many students.

Airport Shuttle Service
Shuttle service (reservation required) is available to the Williamsport, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia airports and Harrisburg train station when there are breaks in the academic schedule and at the beginning and end of each semester. A JFK shuttle is also available at the beginning and end of each semester. Please Note: The schedule for the 2008-09 academic year will be made available during spring semester 2008.

The cost for a ride to or from JFK is $60 each way. The cost to Harrisburg and Williamsport is $25 each way. The cost to Philadelphia is $50 one way. Payment reserves a seat and space for one suitcase and one carry-on bag per person. Additional luggage may be permitted if arranged for in advance for an additional $10. There will be no refund or credit given unless weather or other conditions cause cancellation of the shuttle.

RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED at least 48 hours in advance of the shuttle departure. Students may reserve a seat by making payment at Transportation Services, 265 LC, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, or online.

Shuttles will be canceled if there are no reservations

THE SHUTTLES WILL NOT WAIT FOR DELAYED FLIGHTS. If a shuttle is missed, the student should call the university switchboard for information on the next available shuttle.

The university is not responsible for airline schedules and changes. The university reserves the right to make adjustments in the shuttle schedule to ensure the safety of students due to road conditions or inclement weather.
