Saturday Shuttle Service

The Saturday Shuttle is available to all undergraduate students FREE of charge and operates throughout the academic year on Saturdays, except at the following times: Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, Spring Break and Spring Fling Day. 

The hours of operation are Saturdays from 12 noon to 9 p.m.  The shuttle departs Winslow parking lot, outside the Dept. of Campus Safety at the following times: 12 noon, 1:30 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m.  The 8:00 p.m. departure is for Westminster stops only.

The shuttle operates on a first come, first serve basis and is limited to 10 passengers per trip.  The first 10 passengers in line will be transported.

Transportation is available only to and from the following locations: Main Street in Westminster, Super Fresh, WalMart, Westminster Towne Mall, Cranberry Square/Giant, Target/Weis/Kohl's/BJ's/Home Depot, Owings Mills Mall and Owings Mills Metro Station.

You can use the shuttle to connect to the Baltimore Metro which can take you into Baltimore City.  Be sure to check the departure and arrival times at the Owings Mills Metro as the Saturday Shuttle does not have the same schedule as the metro schedule. Metro schedules are available at the information Desk located in the upper level of Decker College Center.

The shuttle drivers are experienced adult drivers who have met all college employment requirements to drive a 10 passenger van.  They are also familiar with the community surrounding the campus.  Please feel free to use them as a resource if you have any questions about Westminster.

The shuttle does not operate as a taxi service; therefore, you will need to plan your activities according to the approximate times that the shuttle will return to the location where you were dropped.  The driver will inform you of the specific areas in shopping centers, etc. where you can meet the shuttle. In order to maintain a regular schedule, the shuttle may only drop off and pick up passengers at specified locations.

The last pick up time at Owings Mills Mall is at 8:30 p.m. and 8:35 p.m. for the Owings Mills Metro Station.

Be sure to check your campus email for reminders and information regarding the Saturday Shuttle service.  If you have questions about the service, please stop by the College Activities Office between the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,  or call Ext. 2765.
