Transportation Services at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ
Holiday Shuttle Service
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ offers free shuttle rides to/from the Grantham campus and Harrisburg International Airport (MDT), Harrisburg Amtrak and Greyhound terminals, and the Megabus stop during the Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas (Winter), Spring, and Easter breaks. Reservations are on a first-come basis. If you have any questions or concerns about this holiday shuttle service, please contact the Office of Student Engagement at 717-796-5240.
***IMPORTANT NOTE: The form for reservations will close at midnight the night before the shuttle starts. For example, if the shuttle starts on a Tuesday, it will close Monday night at midnight. This will allow us to best manage the schedule for the shuttle drivers. And, most importantly, it ensures that no one gets left behind due to last minute changes. If it's a weekend break (Thanksgiving Break and Easter Break), the form will NOT reopen once it has been closed. The rest of the breaks will have the return shuttle reopened in case you haven't finalized your return travel yet. The return shuttle will then close 24 hours before the return shuttle starts.
***If you sign up for a time slot, but no longer need it, please cancel it on the form or email studentengagement@messiah.edu. Thank you.
BEFORE the holiday break the shuttles will leave ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ at the following times: 8 am, 10 am, 12 pm, 2 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm. The shuttle goes to the Amtrak/Greyhound station and then the airport.
AFTER the holiday break the shuttles will start pickups from the Amtrak/Greyhound stations then travel to the airport beginning at the following times: 11:15 am, 1:15 pm, 3:15 pm, 5:15 pm, 7:15 pm, 9:15 pm, 11:30 pm.
