Houghton provides shuttle service to and from the Buffalo airport as well as the greyhound station and Depew Amtrak train station when university residences close for vacations. Students should sign up as early as possible utilizing the form on this page, at least one week prior to arrival/departure to reserve a seat.  Contact the Student Life Office at 585.567.9220 or officeofstudentlife@houghton.edu with further questions.

Shuttle Process

The shuttles are University Fleet vehicles driven by students, grad students, and employees that have completed the campus certification process; it is not a professional driving service. For a shuttle to take place, a University Fleet vehicle needs to be secured (this is out of a different office; shuttle organizer does not maintain Fleet vehicles) and reaching out to find an available driver from a list of certified drivers.

Regular shuttles are offered evenings or mornings that residence halls close and classes are not in session as it is difficult to find drivers that are available during business hours while classes are in session.  Please keep this in mind when scheduling your flight.

Please also keep in mind that it takes about 1.5 hours to get to the bus/train station and airport.

Please complete the form below the schedule to sign up for any regularly scheduled shuttles.  Anyone signing up for a shuttle after the signup deadline will be subject to availability and assessed an additional $25 surcharge.  Special shuttles (if any) are noted at the end of the schedule:
