My student does not have a car. What transportation resources are available?
The Saint Francis University Transportation Services
Program is available to assist students in connecting to local transportation
centers for bus, train, or airline transportation to get back and forth from
home during academic breaks (i.e. mid-semester breaks, Thanksgiving and Easter
breaks, and beginning and end of academic semesters).
SFU Transportation regularly services the
Johnstown/Cambria County Airport and the Altoona-Blair County Airport for
flights and the Altoona Transportation Center for Amtrak train and Greyhound
bus. Additionally, SFU Transportation
also services the Pittsburgh International Airport. Low standard rates are charged for students
who utilize regularly-scheduled shuttles; a more competitive, premium rate is
charged for students who desire a more customized services outside the regular
service.
Additional services provided by the Center for Student
Engagement includes weeknight shopping to local stores including the Ebensburg
Walmart, and shopping malls and plazas in both Johnstown and Altoona. This service is free of charge and available
on a first-come, first-served basis.
Students and families can find a full schedule

The Center for Student Engagement also maintains a
partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car and their exciting CarShare program that
