If a flight is missed, students are responsible for contacting either their shuttle driver, Wilson Switchboard 717-264-4141 during normal business hours, or Wilson Security at 717-372-2255 outside of normal business hours. Do not leave a message; speak with the shuttle driver, operator, or Security.

We cannot guarantee shuttle pickup when flights are cancelled, missed, or changed, due to weather or other circumstances. If shuttle pickup is required outside of the regularly scheduled shuttle pickup time, students may incur a one hundred fifty dollar shuttle charge.
