Passengers should watch for the shuttle at the circle drive west of the Co-Rec and north of the Aquatics Center (see map below). We will attempt to stop at the south-west edge of the circle, as long as there is room. During inclement weather, passengers should be able to wait in the Co-Rec while also having a clear view of the pickup location on the circle drive.

Our pickup location at PMU is now the Union Club Hotel entrance on Grant Street (201 N Grant St), across from the Grant Street Parking Garage. The alternative location for vehicles that do not fit under the awning will be the corner of Grant St and North St, which is across the road between the parking garage and the Anvil building.
