Transportation Department Mission

 
The mission of the Wells College Transportation Department is to facilitate the academic and student life goals of the college by providing services that allow students to have curricular and co-curricular experiential learning opportunities while supporting a socially responsible campus community.

Transportation Priorities

The transportation services offered by Wells College are a student-based service. Other members of the Wells College community may utilize the services; however, the priority for transportation services are Wells College Students.
1. Student Transportation Services - These services include daily shuttle services, break transportation, academic-related travel, athletic team travel, and club/organization travel.
2. Wells College Faculty and Staff - Faculty and Staff members may utilize the transportation services that are scheduled for the students, or transportation that is being billed to a college account. No personal transportation services are available.
3. Guest/Visitors - Guests and visitors to Wells may utilize the transportation services that are scheduled for the students, or transportation that is being billed to a college account. No personal transportation services are available. Student guests must be accompanied by their host students at all times. Wells College students have first right to all transportation services; guests and visitors may be bumped from a scheduled run to provide a seat for a Wells Student.

TRANSPORTATION FINES/PRIVILEGES - STARTING FALL OF 2014
 
Transportation is a vital and important experience for students attending Wells College. The transportation department shuttles students to and from Airports, Bus Stations, Off Campus classes, Sporting Events, daily shuttles to Ithaca and many other activities during the school year. Shuttles are moving every day during the academic year and we need to run on time and efficiently.
When students miss these shuttles and DO NOT contact the Security Department, it creates a real problem for other students as well as very costly for the Transportation Department.
The normal procedure for students is to call the Security Department with transportation issues, since they are on campus/call 24/7.
To help curb/stop this problem, we are implementing a "Transportation Fine/Privilege" program, effective the Fall of 2014. Information below.
 
TRANSPORTATION FINES/ PRIVILEGES
 
 
A.) Shuttles going to Airport/Bus Station to pick up one (1) student and they are not there and we cannot get a hold   them. If this is not a Airline/Bus delay.
 
                                   Cost to student -  1st offense    - $50.00
                                                             2nd offense  -  $100.00, plus loss of privileges for semester.
 
B.) Normal run to Ithaca, if only one person to pick up or deliver and no show. Driver will call and leave a message.
 
                                    Cost to student -  1st offense    -   $10.00
                                                              2nd offense  -    $20.00, plus loss of privileges for two (2) weeks.
 
C.) Normal run to Ithaca, student is not a stop, then the driver waits 5 minutes, calls students cell, no answer.
 
                                     Cost to student - 1st offense    -  $10.00
                                                              2nd offense  -   $20.00, plus loss of privileges for two (2) weeks.
 
D.) Student signs up to take a shuttle to a destination and decides not to go and does not take name off the list. By not taking name off of list, it does not allow for another student to sign up, who may need to go.
 
                                      Cost to student  -  1st offense   - $10.00
                                                                 2nd offense  - $20.00, plus loss of privileges for two (2) weeks.
 
 
NOTE:  Students will be notified of an offense and ALL offenses will be investigated completely, before any "Fines/Privileges" are levied.
 
All transportation information takes place from the Security Office on Campus. If any student/parent has concerns/questions about transportation, please call 315-364-3321, email at aconnors@wells.edu or stop in an talk at the Security Office.  Also, Denny Fairchild (Security Director) at 315-364-3382, email at dfairchild@wells.edu or stop and talk with him.  
 
_____________________________________________________________________________________________       
 
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ 
 
STUDENTS NEED TO REQUEST TRANSPORTATION THROUGH THE WELLS WEBSITE ON THE GLOBE. GO TO GLOBE, STUDENT TAB, TRANSPORTATION, TRANSPORTATION REQUEST, FILL OUT COMPLETELY AND SUBMIT. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY REQUEST CAN BE FILLED.
 
WHILE STUDENTS ARE ON BREAKS FROM WELLS AND THERE PLANS CHANGE, SINCE THE ORIGINAL REQUEST, PLEASE CALL THE SECURITY DEPARTMENT AT 315-364-3229 AND GIVE THEM THE NEW INFORMATION. THEY WILL CONTACT THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND THEY WILL GET BACK TO YOU, SECURITY DEPARTMENT IS OPEN 24/7. 
 
 
THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT IS NOT OPEN 24/7, TRANSPORTATION MAY NOT BE IN THE OFFICE DURING THAT TIME, SO ANY REQUEST, MAY NOT BE LOOKED AT UNTIL THE STUDENT GETS BACK TO CAMPUS AND THAT IS TOO LATE.  
 
 
IF THIS PROCESS HAPPENS, WE WILL HAVE LESS CONFUSION BETWEEN THE STUDENTS/PARENTS AND THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT. 
 
 
*IF YOU NEED EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION, PLEASE CONTACT THE 
TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT LOCATED IN THE SECURITY OFFICE.
CALL AT 315-364-3321 OR STOP IN A TALK WITH ALAN CONNORS OR
CALL A SECURITY OFFICER AT 315-364-3229 AND TALK WITH THEM. 
 
                                                       
NOTE: WHEN MAKING YOUR TRANSPORTATION PLANS, PLEASE TRY TO SCHEDULE YOUR FLIGHTS/BUSES/TRAINS AS CLOSE TO THE SCHEDULED PICK-UP TIMES AS POSSIBLE. REMEMBER THE SHUTTLE TIMES ARE THE TIME LEAVING CAMPUS. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES TO GET TO ITHACA, 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES TO GET TO SYRACUSE AND 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES TO ROCHESTER. (EXAMPLE THE 3:30PM SHUTTLE TO SYRACUSE, WILL ARRIVE AROUND 4:45PM). SO, IF YOU COULD SCHEDULE YOUR TRANSPORTATION TO ARRIVE NO LATER THAN 6:00PM, THAT WOULD WORK VERY WELL. REMEMBER WE ARE PICKING UP MANY STUDENTS AND HAVING THEM WAIT LATER THAN THAT IS NOT FAIR TO THEM OR THE DRIVER.

 
_IF YOUR ONLY CHOICE IS TO COME IN LATER, THE WELLS TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT WILL CERTAINLY PICK YOU UP. THANK YOU IN ADVANCED FOR YOUR COOPERATION.YING ALL THIS,

All occupants also are to wear seat belts or, where appropriate, child restraints when riding in a college-owned vehicle or in a personal vehicle being used for collegebusiness.
 
All students, faculty, staff, and their families are strongly encouraged to use seat belts or child restraints whenever they are driving or riding in any vehicle.

Passenger Conduct

All passengers utilizing any Wells College transportation services are expected to comply with any directions given by the driver, and will not conduct themselves in a manner which inhibits the drivers ability to safely operate the vehicle.
 
Important: Serious or repeated violations of the Transportation Policies may result in denial of service and/or referral to the College judicial system.
