Shuttle Services

• Please arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes in advance of your scheduled departure. This greatly assists with boarding and deboarding in a crowded system.
• Stay back from the curb until the bus comes to a complete stop.
• Be ready to get on or off the bus when it stops. Drivers are instructed not to open the doors again once they begin to re-enter traffic.
• Drivers are instructed to load and unload at bus stops only.

• If standing, please move to the center of the bus. Drivers are instructed not to move the bus with passengers standing in unsafe locations.
• Hold on to handrails if standing. Sudden stops or turns can cause falls.
• Keep personal belongings, backpacks, and bags clear of the aisle. This prevents tripping hazards and keeps exits accessible.

• Do not cross the street in front of the bus. Always cross behind the bus. This helps you see, and be seen by, other motorists.
• Do not walk between two stopped buses.
• When driving another vehicle, do not pass a stopped bus unless you are in a legal passing zone.

• Do not distract the driver while the bus is in motion unless it is an emergency.
• Be courteous to fellow passengers. Give priority seating to individuals with disabilities, seniors, or those who may need extra assistance.
• Montclair State University bus drivers are trained professionals who take pride in operating safely and preventing accidents each day.

Charters are subject to fleet availability. Since there are a limited amount of buses available, regularly scheduled service for the Montclair and Bloomfield campuses will always be prioritized. 

Request

Payment may be made through the Internal Service Delivery process.

There is a minimum charge of $240 (three (3) hours @ $80/hour), which includes one (1) hour for the Federally-mandated pre-trip and post-trip bus inspections.

Charter hours billed will be the calculated total of inspection, cleaning, running and layover times. If the buses require additional cleaning after a charter, the charges will be billed to the customer.

Making Changes to Your Charter Agreement

Any changes to be made to the charter contract must be submitted in writing to the Shuttle Services. If there is time added to or subtracted from the duration of the charter, adjustments will be reflected on the contract. Requests for changes may be submitted via e-mail, USPS, or fax (973-655-3126).

Cancellations

Cancellations made less than twelve (12) hours before the scheduled start of the charter will be billed for the scheduled duration of the said charter.

Any chartering party deemed a “no show” for their charter will be billed for the scheduled duration of said charter.

All cancellations must be submitted in writing with the signature of the Representative, Dean, Director or their Designee and will be confirmed by Shuttle Services.

Shuttle Services reserves the right to cancel any charter for reasons including, but not limited to:

• Unprofessional or threatening behavior toward the driver
• Blatant disregard for any charter policy
• Inclement weather (e.g. predicted snowfall or icy conditions)
• Public intoxication
• Violates either of the University polices regarding Employee or Student Conduct.
• Engages in any behavior that limits the driver’s ability to drive or threatens the safety of passengers.

Absolutely no smoking or open alcoholic beverages will be permitted on any bus at any time.
