The College provides transportation to and from Lehigh Valley International Airport on designated days at the beginning and end of each semester break and major holidays. This is also part of the new Uber pilot program. The biggest change is now you schedule your own ride through the Uber app at your convenience, instead of waiting for a shuttle bus to pick you up.
To take advantage of this complimentary transportation to the airport, you must make an advanced voucher request. Reservations must be made at least 48 hours before your flight departure or arrival.
Enterprise rental cars will now be located in Section B, 901 Bushkill Dr. Parking Lot, next to the Public Safety building. The change will free up parking in the Leopard Deck and improve accessibility for all renters. This move will improve the rental process, providing a centralized and secure area for vehicle transactions.
To pick up all rentals, go to the Public Safety dispatch window inside the lobby at 901 Bushkill Dr. Drivers will need to present a photo ID to pick up their rental car. When you return your vehicle, please leave the keys in the Enterprise box in the parking lot close to the return vehicle spots.
