Local Shuttle Transportation

Fall 2025 Local Shuttle Changes

As of fall 2025 the W&L local shuttle route will change from a fixed route to an on-call.

Shuttles will run Tuesday and Thursday 2 pm - 6 pm and Saturday from 12 pm (noon) to 6 pm.

  • Last final round will start at 5:30 pm and only pick up at locations and return to campus.
  • Student's must present their physical Student ID for swipe or recording by the driver.
  • Emergency and essential appointments are still available on an as needed basis.
  • Requests made outside of these times will not be accommodated 

Shuttles will be available to all students who present an ID and will be available to request a ride on the approved stops. The number of times a student can ride is limited ot (2) round trips (1 pick up and 1 drop off request) within the shuttle time periods. (for example, a student can request a ride from QUAD to Goodwill and then to Walmart and back to campus. This counts as 2 complete trips)

Please note: Local shuttle transportation is NOT provided for non-approved off-campus to off-campus transports. (For example, a request to pick-up from Rockbridge Regional Hospital going to the Pole Houses will not be honored.  All requested shuttles must either be picked up or dropped off to a location on the approved lists.
