Transportation is offered to the Pittsburgh (PIT) and Cleveland (CLE) airports. Shuttle reservations are accepted through the above on-line reservation system. The completed reservation form and non-refundable payment of $30 for each way, are required to reserve your space. Deadlines of approximately three days in advance are strictly adhered to for vehicle reservation purposes. Online reservations received after the deadline are $40 each way and will only be accepted if seats are available. When making airline reservations, please allow ample time for travel to the airports, 1.75 hours to PIT and 2.5 hours to CLE, plus the time needed for airport security checks. When arranging for your return flight, take into consideration flight delays that may occur. Shuttle drivers will be instructed to leave the airport fifteen minutes after the stated pick-up time, regardless of flight delays. If the College's transportation schedule does not meet your travel needs, refer to the Alternative Transportation Resources listed below. If you have a question regarding the Airport Shuttle Schedule, please contact the Office of Student Involvement at (814) 332-2754. Allegheny offers a shuttle at each of the major breaks in the academic year as a service to students. The schedule for each academic year is set in May for the following academic year and published on this website, in the Parents' Handbook, and the Compass student handbook. This service can not begin to accommodate the individual flight schedules of all traveling students, however it has been designed and refined over the last decade to accommodate as many students as possible.
