SHUTTLE IN FULL SWING FOR SPRING
SERVICE MEETS FEDERAL ADA REQUIREMENTS
BY KRISTEN W OHLERS
It’s good news for shuttle riders. The service continues, unchanged,
in order to meet the transportation needs of CCC students.
The free CCC Xpress Shuttle runs between the Clackamas Town
Center, the Oregon City campus, and the Harmony campus. A growing
number of students are utilizing the shuttle to get to and from school,
so there was confusion when the newly added third shuttle disappeared
from the schedule.

Transportation systems analyst Luke Norman confirmed that the
service has not changed since the addition of a third shuttle in January.
“ We continue to provide a third shuttle during the morning peak to
ensure there is enough space for students to reach their morning
classes at the Oregon City campus. As shuttle three provides the same
service as shuttle one from 730 a.m . to 9:20 a.m ., we removed the
green designation from the schedule to make it easier for students to
read,” said Norman.
“ Shuttle three doesn’t have a wheelchair lift, so to meet the federal
ADA requirements, we need to have it run at the same time as shuttle
1,” Norman added.
All three shuttles run Monday through Thursday, and only Shuttle 1
runs on Friday. The complete schedule can be found online at http://
clackamas.edu/transportation/shuttleschedule.
The shuttle service is in full swing for spring term. In order to spread
the word, during the first two weeks of term, morning shuttle riders
received a free coffee voucher. Norman may run a similar promotion
in the future.
The shuttle doesn’t run during the summer, but when it returns in
the fall, Norman hopes to add more trips between Clackamas Town
Center and Oregon City.
Norman said, “ If students have ideas or questions, then they can
email us at transportation@clackamas.edu.”
