College Shuttle Services

Our Family-Owned Business Will Provide A Safe & Dependable Off-Campus Shuttle Service For Your Students

It wasn’t that long ago when only a handful of students actually had their own cars. Today, it seems like every teen who gets their driver’s license, gets their own car as well. And despite what you may be hearing about today’s teens and young adults, they are not quite ready to give up their own cars for current ride-sharing alternatives. In fact, according to a Gen Z Automotive Trends report by Kelley Blue Book, 72% of these teens would rather have a car for a year than use social media. We were as shocked as you probably are to hear these results!

However, these teen drivers, especially those that have just gotten their licenses and are experiencing the freedom and convenience of having their own car, may get a rude awakening in the next phase of their life, when they head off to their college or university.

If your school is like many others around the U.S., you’re trying to manage the influx of more and more cars on campus by prohibiting first-year students from bringing them in the first place. In addition to facing first-year restrictions, there are other reasons why your students may end up not having a car on campus. There’s the issue of limited parking spaces for students and many schools issue parking decals on a first-come, first-serve basis, meaning not every upperclassman that registers their vehicle is guaranteed parking. Plus, there are fees to pay to have cars on campus.

As college administrators know way better than us, the college years, and in particular freshman year, is all about exploration. Whether your school is located in a small community or a diverse city, there are few students who are going to want to be confined to campus life for the entire 30 plus weeks they are residing there. If you don’t have another easily accessible form of transportation set up for these students to take them shopping, out to local restaurants, and even to the airport or train station, then this lack of freedom and flexibility could, best case scenario, cause some aggravation, and, worst case scenario, be a deal-breaker for choosing to go to your school. Many first-year students say that having the opportunity to get off campus and to get to know the area around their school makes an impact on their decision to stay all four years.
