The shuttle will operate Monday, Nov. 21 through Wednesday, Nov. 23, with daily campus pick-up times of 6 a.m., 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Students should plan to leave campus at least two hours prior to take-off.

To schedule a pick-up, email the following information with the subject “Thanksgiving Break Shuttle” to ukparking@lsv.uky.edu at least two business days in advance:

  • Name
  • Campus address

  • Date, time and location of campus pick-up 

A PTS representative will call to confirm a pick-up time and convenient location. Students are responsible for their own transportation back to campus.
