The Wells College Transportation Department is dedicated to enriching the student experience outside of the main campus.  Whether it is transporting students to off campus classes, internships, bus stations and airports or immersing them in the fun activities that the Finger Lakes has to offer, we strive to provide these services in a timely and safe manner.  Below are the services that we currently provide.

Unless noted, we need 7 business days minimum for requests. This doesn't apply to daily Ithaca runs.

The Transportation Office can not schedule same day appointments

Requests are processed during business hours Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. 

Requests and emails received after hours and on weekends will be processed the next business day.

We do not transport students to and from a job for which they are paid.

If you have or cannot find the answers to your questions on the Globe please email, transportation@wells.edu.

Daily Ithaca Shuttle

This is a daily service that brings students to the Ithaca area for various amenities and entertainment.  Students interested in wanting to participate sign up in Campus Safety.  In the entryway there is a log book that highlights the times and locations that this service will be active.  Students must fill out when they wish to leave Wells and when they wish to return.  Students that do not sign up for a return time and plan on staying in Ithaca overnight must annotate that on the form. 

Daily Schedule to Ithaca:

Monday and Tuesday: No Daily Run

Wednesday and Thursday: leaving campus at 3pm, 5pm and 7 pm.

Friday and Saturday: leaving campus at 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 7 pm.

Sundays: leaving campus at 1pm and 3 pm.

Vehicle Options

Wells College Transportation Department has a variety of vehicles available for rental by faculty/staff and students. Currently we have 3 options:

  • 10 person vans (plus driver)
  • 7 person mini-van (plus driver)
  • 3 person sedan (plus driver)

The first priorities for the vehicle use are daily Ithaca/Auburn runs and reservations made for College sponsored events. After those, Transportation offers campus departments and student clubs and organizations the opportunity to reserve vehicles for off-campus excursions sponsored through a class, a College-sponsored student activity, or a Wells College Athletic team event.
