SHU SHUTTLE SERVICE

The Shuttle Service serves as free campus transportation for students, operating 7 days a week, from campus to off-campus University Housing sites and selected service sites.  The shuttle runs on a pre-determined schedule, much like public transportation.  Please call (203)396-8027 for routes, schedules and information.

The Shuttle Service is operated by the Student Union Office. Any questions should be directed to the Student Union Office, not Public Safety. You can contact the Student Union Office at (203) 396-8027

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Where do the shuttles go?

A. There are 3 shuttle routes: Park Avenue, Service, and Transit.  Park Avenue stops at Oakwood/Cambridge, Park Ridge, Park Royal, andTaft Commons.  Service Route goes to Trumbull Shopping Mall, Oak View (SHU Art Department), and Brookside Plaza (Stop & Shop, Staples, etc.) Transit Route goes to the Bridgeport Transit Station (MTA Train Station, Bus Station, Long Island Ferry), and to Blackrock Turnpike EMS Shopping Plaza (EMS, Shaws, etc.)

Q. Where do I go to get on the Shuttle?

A.  All shuttles depart from outside Public Safety on the hour (:00).

Q.  If I have a class at the Art Department which Shuttle should I take?

A. You should take the Service Shuttle, which departs from campus by Public Safety on the hour (:00). Service gets to the Art Department at Oak View at 20 minutes past the hour (:20) and at 50 minutes past the hour (:50).  Please keep the times the shuttles arrive at the Art Department in mind when planning your class schedules.

Q. If I miss the shuttle will it come back and pick me up?

A. The Shuttle Service runs like a city bus, it has scheduled stops and can not deviate from the schedule.  We ask all students to check the shuttle schedule and keep this mind when planning all trips as to avoid missing the shuttle.  Please understand we are striving to provide the best service for all students, if a shuttle was sent back to pick up a student it may result in the shuttle getting off schedule which would leave other students waiting at stops.   

Q. Does the Shuttle go to other colleges/universities or to the airport?

A.  No, it does not.  But the Transit Shuttle can take you to the Bridgeport Transit Station where you can take the MTA, Bus, or LI Ferry.

Q. If I have any questions or concerns about the Shuttle Service who should I contact?

A. You can call the Student Union Office at (203) 396-8027, stop by the Student Union Office located across from the cafeteria in the main academic building or e-mail e-coyne@sacredheart.edu
