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.

"Fun day" Trips

 Transportation will be offering "Fun Day" trips to a varying amount of amazing locations throughout the Finger Lakes area and beyond.  Students can find more information and sign up for these trips under the " Fun Day” Section on the Globe.  Transportation will announce the activities for the entire month and students can sign up for activities a maximum of two weeks in advance and the cut off day for registration is the Friday before the trip.

The driver and van will bring you to the primary location selected for that trip.  However, if the group decides that they would like to venture somewhere else in the trips immediate area, then the driver can bring the group anywhere they want to go.  

*Transportation is providing the travel free of charge and will only cover the cost of admittance to the location they are traveling to.
