Additional weekend Campus Connect routes now offered; Thanksgiving operations announced

Two additional round-trip Campus Connect shuttle routes between the West Lafayette and Indianapolis campuses are now offered on the weekends through Dec. 15.

The extra shuttles going to Indianapolis will pick up at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Córdova Recreational Sports Center and 2:10 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. on Mitch Daniels Boulevard between the Purdue Memorial Union and Stewart Center on weekends.

New shuttles will depart Indianapolis at 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. on weekends and drop off at the Purdue Memorial Union/Stewart Center and Córdova Recreational Sports Center in West Lafayette.

The full schedule, maps, tips for winter travel and other information is available online.

The week of Thanksgiving, normal shuttle routes will run on Monday and Tuesday (Nov. 25-26). No shuttles will run Wednesday, Thursday or Friday (Nov. 27-29) due to the holiday. Service will resume on Saturday (Nov. 29) and continue through Sunday, Dec. 15, for the fall semester. The schedule for the spring semester is being finalized and will be communicated soon. 

Users are reminded to download and regularly update the R2U Connect mobile app (Google Play or the App Store) to receive push notifications for any route or timing changes that may be made to shuttles. Riders can reserve a seat on the shuttle and see when the shuttle is close to pickup and drop-off locations within the app. When setting up an account, Purdue students, faculty and staff should use their university email to ensure rides are free.
