Half a Million Passengers Can't Be Wrong...

CAT TRAN shuttle service hit the half million passenger mark for the 2006-2007 calendar year. It's easy, it's fast, it's the best ride on campus...don't just take our word for it, here are some comments from our passengers:

"I read the paper both ways, it's very relaxing."
"The ride is great. I park, the shuttle comes and when I'm ready to go home, I catch it back, no hassles."
"I live out east, I come down aviation pull into the lot (9008) catch the shuttle and then back again. I've been a professor here for 13 years and the last 2 years parking here has been the most convenient by far."
"It beats driving around campus for 20 minutes trying to find a place to park"
