Two buses will run between the parking lots of the former Wal-Mart and the bus stop near the Orr Center from Monday, January 10, through Friday, January 21. To use Park and Ride, commuters park their vehicles in the parking lot by the vacant building that formerly housed Wal-Mart. The parking lot is located along University Drive, the access road between Rosenberger Avenue and N. Red Bank Road, just north of the Lloyd Expressway. The buses will run every 15 minutes from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but not on January 17, when classes are cancelled for Martin Luther King Day observation. The service is free of charge, and for the first week, free hot chocolate, coffee, and donuts will be provided for early commuters. The Park and Ride service offers ample parking for commuters who want to avoid parking on campus during the first two weeks of classes when more cars are on campus. It also provides a close drop-off/pick up to academic buildings on campus.
