      Our Mission

      Late Night Safe Rides

      The Big Red Shuttle was originally founded in 2011 under the Cornell Women's Resource Center, providing students with free late-night transportation during exam periods. However, the need for additional means of late- night transportation with flexible pick-up and drop-off points has become clear.

       

      Our objective is to expand the Big Red Shuttle from an academic-only resource to one that provides safe, timely and free transportation to Cornell students in need of a safe ride home. Our ultimate goal is to promote a safer campus climate to prevent alcohol-related incidents and sexual assault.

       

      By expanding the Big Red Shuttle, we strive to cater to Cornell-affiliated undergraduate and graduate students of all genders, sexual orientations, majors, ages, races, national origins and organizational affiliations. The Big Red Shuttle runs more frequently than the TCAT and provides a safe, reliable and free alternative to Ithaca taxi companies.

      What to Expect on the Shuttle

      It's a big WHITE shuttle!

      While we have the name 'Big Red Shuttle,' the vehicle is actually a white shuttle bus. One of the student managers should announce that we are the Big Red Shuttle at any given stop, so you can be sure it is safe to board what may look like an unmarked vehicle.

       

      The Big Red Shuttle is completely free and no ID is required. We have free bottles of water on the shuttle (and other amenities like tissues and nausea bags if necessary).

       

      The consumption of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco on the Big Red Shuttle is not allowed. We want to ensure that the Shuttle can be a safe and positive environment for all riders.

       

      Big Red Shuttle believes that our student managers will serve as active bystanders and help ensure the safety of Cornell students. If you ever have any concerns while on the Shuttle, the student managers (who welcome you on the bus) are more than happy to help!
