40 Shippensburg University Raider Regional Transit: A Cooperative Effort Mary Lehman, Campus Coordinator Paul Farkas, Operations Manager Ed Tarner, Driver Bob Stevens, Driver Harold Flewelling, Driver Homer Parson, Driver Harold Hinkle, Driver Shippensburg University was instrumental in the establishment of a local bus system that serves both university students and community at large. The operation of the Raider Regional Transit System (RRT), which began in August of 1999, was the culmination of a three-year effort lead by Shippensburg University students, with the involvement of local and state officials as well as community groups. The RRT provided over 33,000 rides in its ninth year of operations (2007-2008). Service is provided to the campus, major student residential, senior citizen housing facilities, Shippensburg Borough, and Shippensburg and Southampton (Franklin County) townships. The RRT is the connecting service from the campus and community to the evening Capitol Area Transit routes to the Harrisburg Transportation Center. The RRT remains viable through the continued local funding from the Shippensburg University Student Association, Shippensburg University, Cumberland County, Shippensburg Borough, Shippensburg Township, Southampton Township (Franklin County) the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the support of Capital Area Transit and the local community. Shippensburg University students saw a need for bus system that would transport students from student residential areas in the community to campus and around campus. In addition to providing a service to students who do not have cars, a campus bus system helps reduce traffic on campus and make the campus more pedestrian friendly. The students commit a portion of the student fees to cover the cost of this system. The RRT provides service Monday through Saturday during the university’s regular academic year and on Tuesdays and Thursday’s (Modified Schedule) during the summer and fall, spring and holiday breaks. Service is provided around campus, and the Shippensburg community.
