By Robert Morrison The Clackamas Print I t’s back! C ongratulations to Clackamas Com m unity College for mak ing the return of the Towncenter Xpress, a welcome sight for C C C students. The shuttle that runs from Clackamas Town Center to C C C and Red Soils county offices made its return at the beginning o f fall term. T he 14 passenger van has been help ing the passengers get from the town cen ter to the school since 2010. T he shuttle is free o f charge and is greatly appreciated by the students that have to travel from farther out since no bus runs from C TC to CCC. “I have to get to school from 82nd and Powell. T he shuttle makes it so I can take the MAX and then the shuttle to C C C the days I do need to use it,” said Jennifer Scotts, a part-tim e student at C C C ., . T he shuttle was created when the col lege, the county and the N orth Clackamas C ounty Cham ber o f Com m erce’s Transportation Management Association came up with the partnership. T he school received a tranportation grant to help fund the shuttle and the remainder will be paid for by student fees coupled with the college general fund. “M any o f our students live in the- 1-205 corridor, making the MAX a, good transportation option. But the bus service to . Oregon Cftydsn’t direct and it takes a while to get here,” stated Courtney W ilton, vice president o f col lege services in a press release about the shuttle. “T he shuttle provides a great service to students and the' -public as well.” ■ -A T he shuttle- runs six hours a day, M onday through Thursday. T he shut- ties will run as early as 8:40 a.m‘. and as late as 3:45 p.m. T he shuttle time gives an hour leeway for any traffic and takes about a half hour each way. “I think the shuttle was a great idea by the college,” said, full time student, Sidney Johnson. “I rarely take it, but for the people that can’t get here on time, from the bus it makes life a lot easier.” Clackamas Com m unity College to Clackamas Town Center Students sit comfortably aboard the Towncenter Xpress fo r its trial run last spring.
