Transportation

Shuttle Bus

MVCC will provide transportation between the Rome and Utica campuses for residence hall students who are enrolled in the following programs based on the Rome Campus; Airframe and Powerplant Technology, Surgical Technology, Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, Interpreter Education or Hospitality.  Transit time is estimated at 30 minutes one way. 

Pick up/drop off on the Utica Campus will be at the Bellamy Hall entrance and pick up/drop off on the Rome Campus will be at the north entrance outside of the library. The shuttle will arrive 5 minutes prior to departure. If a student is running late, they should contact the company to see if it is feasible for the shuttle to wait for them without causing a late arrival.

Students must show their MVCC ID or a state issued identification card. It is also expected that students will adhere to public transportation etiquette at all times of their ridership. This includes not leaving any trash inside the vehicle, maintaining personal hygiene, keeping eating and drinking to a minimum and refrain from engaging in any distracting behavior.

The contracted company will visibly display a company sign for student safety. A rider log will be maintained to include rider name, date, time, and destination.

As the shuttle is an extension of MVCC, any masking policy in place on campus will be adhered to during transport as well, by both students and the driver. Masks will be provided by MVCC upon request.

For questions or concerns on MVCC’s transportation, please contact Rome Campus Student Services by emailing shuttlebus@mvcc.edu or calling 315-334-7709.
