Getting Off-campus — WSA transportation info and options

by

Hey Students,

 The first thing you can do is check our NEW transportation website: Cardinal Directions! Go to transportation.wsa.wesleyan.edu  to find the easiest way to get to your desired destination.

If that doesn’t work for your needs, don’t forget about ZipCars. They are really convenient, and you only have to pay a $35 dollar yearly membership and $8/hour of use. No additional fees, no gas, no insurance, and you can rent them any time you want. Go to zipcar.com/wesleyan to learn more.

Lastly, just wanted to let you all know that the Thursday shuttles to the New Haven Train Station that we made possible this year are here to stay. You can catch those every Thursday at 6pm in front of Usdan for $10.

  Safe travels, WSA Transportation Committee

Fan Van to Amherst — Sat., 4/23

by

Hi All,

It is true – the Fan Van, a bus that takes student fans to Wesleyan athletic away games, is happening again for the last time this school year. It will launch this Saturday April 23rd, with a bus going to the men’s lacrosse game against Amherst, one of our Little Ivy rivals.  

1) People can reserve a spot for the Amherst game by emailing nokai@wesleyan.edu, stating their interest in reserving a spot. To preserve the fairness of the service, you can only reserve a seat for yourself (your friends must also reserve for themselves) unless it is an emergency circumstance. First come, first served. There are a pretty limited number of spots, so make your reservation now before bus seats run out. 

2) On Saturday, the bus will be leaving Wesleyan from Usdan at 12:15pm. The bus will be leaving Amherst at 4:00pm and returning to campus at roughly 5:30pm.  

3) You must come back on the bus on the return trip to Wesleyan. No exceptions! There will be a bus monitor with a list of student names ensuring that all students use the Fan Van both ways. 

4) The trip is free of charge, but you must bring your best Wesleyan spirit! 

5) Last chance to see our awesome men’s lacrosse team do some more damage in the NESCAC!

 Cheers for Wes, 

 Nicole Okai, WSA Transportation Committee Representative, and Zachary Malter, WSA Transportation Committee Chair
