Redhawk Shuttle Gets High Marks From Passengers

The people have been surveyed and they have spoken, said Carol Wagar, Rensselaer's parking coordinator: The Redhawk Shuttle, now in its second official week of service, is A-OK according to a recent rider survey. Wagar says that the several hundred passenger responses received so far have been very positive.

The Parking and Transportation Office has incorporated rider suggestions and made modifications to the shuttle service.

"We received a number of requests to pick up and drop off riders at the Stacwyck residence complex behind Houston Field House so we added that stop," said Wagar. Additionally, another stop at the Colonie Apartments near Hoosick Street may be added, she said.

Extra lighting was installed at parking lots along the route, and more shuttle buses have been scheduled for high-traffic periods at 10 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m. For the further comfort of riders, rain shelters have been ordered for passengers waiting at the Field House and JEC-lowbay stops.
