Student Development is coordinating transportation for students leaving for Winter Break! We’re offering rides for departures from the Kalamazoo airport, Kalamazoo train station, and Grand Rapids airport.
If you expect to want transportation, please fill out the forms as soon as possible, even if you have not booked your travel yet. This helps us get a sense of need, and begin planning group pickup times. Please note, if you are flying into Grand Rapids, you may have wait times while at the airport due to shuttle availability.
When we confirm that we can get you a ride, we will send you a link to pay to reserve your spot: $10 for a ride from Grand Rapids and $5 for a ride in Kalamazoo. This helps us cover some of the cost of reserving vehicles and drivers.
Form: Break Transportation Request
