Heading to Hedley? Take the Shuttle!

A free shuttle bus, known as the "Red Hawk shuttle," is now operating between campus and the Hedley Building on River Street, where a large number of the Institute Advancement staff has been relocated. Anyone with a Rensselaer ID can ride the shuttle, which is operated by the Department of Public Safety.

The shuttle bus will leave from the front of the Hedley Building at 35 minutes past the hour, and travel to the Heffner Alumni House (45 minutes past the hour), the Jonsson Engineering Center/Low Center lowbay area (50 minutes past), Academy Hall (on the hour), and back to the Alumni House (five minutes past) before returning to Hedley. The driver's lunch break will begin at 10:50 a.m. after the JEC/CII drop-off; service will resume at 11:35 a.m. with pick-up at Hedley. The last shuttle of the day will leave Hedley at 3:35 p.m. for campus.

A second shuttle route will be added in August, to transport people from Field House parking lots to the main campus. That schedule is still being developed. A Web site has been established to provide information and updates on parking and other issues affected by ongoing campus construction.
