Students requiring off-campus transportation for academic related service learning, internships, or other community service can use one of three Bobcat express SLS Shuttles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, all CEL Shuttles run from 8a-6p Monday-Friday during the academic year, when classes are in session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All CEL Shuttles depart from the Chu Parking Lot located behind the dorm. During inclement weather, students are advised to wait in the lobby of Kalperis Hall. This lobby has direct visibility to the pick up area behind Chu Hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEL Shuttles typically experience high demand usage during the academic year and will be unable to “turn around” should you miss your shuttle. Shuttles will not be contacted to return for late pickups. Missed shuttles will result in extended wait times for the next available shuttle to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary mission of weekday CEL Shuttles is to provide students with transportation specifically for college sponsored service learning activities as part of their academic experience at Bates. <\/mark><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEL Shuttles<\/strong> DO NOT operate when Lewiston and\/or Auburn schools have been cancelled or are not in session.<\/b><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEL Shuttles DO NOT provide transportation services for convenience or leisure shopping.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
