Shuttle Service

Colgate has contracted with Birnie Bus Service Inc. to create the Demand Response Shuttle Service. It is available to faculty, staff, students, and campus visitors, and is especially helpful to those using the transportation facilities in Syracuse and Utica as part of a trip to tour our campus.

All trips require a 24-hour business notice. Each reservation must be made by noon for the next day’s trip. Monday trips require a notification by noon on the preceding Friday.

A live dispatch service is provided Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. Voice mail reservations are in effect all other hours.
