Ground transport shuttle service is available to and from most of the major airports in Maine (Portland only), New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Vendors providing airport transportation include: Colby subsidizes airport shuttles for currently enrolled Colby students to and from Logan Airport (Boston), Manchester Airport, and the Portland Jetport. The current subsidy is $40 per airport trip, except for major college breaks when regularly scheduled shuttles are available at reduced rates. The subsidy is paid by Colby directly to the shuttle companies listed above - any price you are quoted is the actual price you are charged. Colby does not offer a subsidy to any carrier not approved or on this list. Prices and services vary widely between shuttle providers, and customers are encouraged to confirm rates before booking. Call 207-859-4070 or extension 4070 on campus for direct connection to shuttle vendors.
Subsidy Requests
- Students must submit a Subsidy Request Form to the Campus Life office for approval at least 2 weeks prior to date of transportation (forms can be picked up at the Campus Life office and any forms submitted within 2 weeks may not be approved).
- Once a subsidy request has been approved by the Campus Life office, the student will receive a copy via email or campus mail and the transportation company will receive a copy of the approval via email or fax (note: the request is not approved when turned in).
- Any transportation without an approval from the Campus Life office will not be subsidized. Only approved requests will be subject to the subsidy.
Questions about Colby's shuttle program can be e-mailed to Shannon Hodgdon, Secretary for Campus Life.
