Shuttle and Charter Bus Services

Departments in need of shuttle services for airport or conference transportation, student field trips, campus tours or other group travel may contact AAA Corporate Travel or may obtain quotes and book reservations directly with local providers. Departments and student organizations are responsible for AAA Corporate Travel transaction fees.

Departments should contact vendors several weeks in advance to allow time for quotes to be generated and to increase the likelihood of shuttle/charter bus availability.

Booking
