Welcome to the Hope Transportation Department

Hope's Transportation Department schedules vehicles for use by faculty, staff and certified students.

The Transportation Department schedules vehicles based on availablity and occupancy in order to maximize the number of passengers and reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

Vehicles in Hope's fleet are maintained by staff on a regular basis to ensure a vehicle's safety and operational efficiency.

Some of the department's sustainable efforts can be found at Campus Sustainability Task Force.
