Important Spring Break Information

For Spring Break trips, buses will be shared with PITT students.  Due to challenges with parking at Sennott St (PITT), buses will be unable to first stop at Carnegie Mellon prior to Sennott St.  However, we will have 2 buses act as complimentary shuttles that CMU students are welcome to ride on.  There is no cost for the shuttle, and it will bring you right from Moorewood Gardens to Sennott St where you can transfer to your appropriate bus home. The shuttle departures are as follows, Take shuttle #1 at 3:15 if your Bus Departs PITT at 4pm/4:15pm or take Shuttle #2 at 3:45 if your Bus Departs PITT at 4:30 or later. These times should provide the appropriate amount of time to get to Sennott St for any of the departures.

While there is not a cost for this shuttle, we do ask that you use the button below to book on the shuttle so we can ensure we have enough room for all those using this option.  Thank you!

NOTE: This applies to the trips home on 3/3 only.  All buses returning back to school after spring break on 3/12 will stop at PITT and then Carnegie Mellon.
