New pass system for Hershey - University Park shuttle service

University Park, Pa. -- A new pass system for the shuttle service from Hershey to University Park will go into effect Monday, April 13. The shuttle system is provided to enable students, faculty, and staff in residence at one campus to participate in official University research, administrative or teaching and learning activities at another campus. The shuttle is not to be used for personal transportation or for medical appointments.
 
Every rider must show a valid Penn State ID in order to ride the shuttle. Holders of faculty and staff ID cards require no other validation to ride the shuttle.

Student ID card holders must also have a valid shuttle pass, in addition to the Penn State ID. 

Shuttle passes are available at University Park and Hershey.
