草榴社区 Partnership with County of Lackawanna Transit System

草榴社区 Partnership with County of Lackawanna Transit System

The 草榴社区 has contracted with the County of Lackawanna Transit System (COLTS) to give students, faculty and staff access to all 31 COLTS routes. Through the COLTS Campus Connections service, members of the University community are able to ride all COLTS buses for free with their Royal Cards.    

The extensive COLTS network gives our campus community access to shopping, dining, entertainment, attractions and other area colleges. It also provides transportation options for internships, community service and employment. COLTS buses run Monday-Saturday. There is no services on Sundays.

This partnership with COLTS also furthers the University’s Jesuit and Catholic mission to promote sustainability. When students, faculty and staff take the bus instead of driving it reduces campus parking needs, decreases congestion on busy streets and supports public transportation.

Exit the Bus: On each bus there is a cord that you pull above the window to alert the driver that you want to get off the bus at the next stop.If you don’t know exactly when or where to get off, tell the driver where you are going and ask him or her to tell you when the bus arrives there.

Bus Stops: Buses can stop at some corner intersections in addition to designated stops.  Tell your bus driver where you want to go and they will do their best to accommodate you. 

Rider Etiquette: Always allow riders to exit the bus before you board.  If the bus is crowded be sure that senior citizens, riders with young children or riders with disabilities are able to sit toward the front of the bus.
