Shuttle Transportation - Airport and Bus Stations

January 8, 2021-Happy New Year! Campus Safety is now accepting reservations for transportation to the airport for the Spring 2021 semester. Please be aware that we may group students together for transportation to the airport as times allow in order to reduce costs to students and to the College.  Also, we are only able to offer transportation for students to return on January 23 or 24, 2021 unless early arrival has been approved by the Office of Student Development.

Campus Safety will be utilizing Detroit Airport Town Cars for student transportation from Detroit Metro Airport to campus for the Spring 2021 semester. Students should still submit airport transportation requests by completing the online reservation form.  Campus Safety staff will make arrangements with the transportation company and then communicate those arrangements to the student by email.  The cost for students for the shuttle service will be the same:  $75.00 per person if travelling alone, $35 per student if travelling with more than one other student. Charges are placed on student accounts after the service has been provided. Please note that Emotional Support Animals are not permitted to be transported in airport shuttles to or from the airport.
