Parking and Transportation Services offers chartered bus reservations to the university community on a first-come, first-served basis. All requests for chartered bus rentals must be made through the Parking and Transportation Services office and should be submitted a minimum of 10 business days prior to the event date. Requests are subject to the availability of provider equipment.
The university has awarded a bid to select companies to provide charter service to the campus. Only these companies may be used for charter service and are the only companies authorized to have buses on the campus.
Departments or organizations who wish to request a chartered bus should expect to have their request filled by an outside charter bus company. Rates for charter service will be determined by the type of vehicle that is requested and based on rates charged by the provider. The requestor will be notified of the cost and service provider by Parking and Transportation Services.
All transportation request forms must be complete with university funding information and an authorized department head signature. By submitting the form, the department is requesting service and will be responsible for associated charges unless written notice to cancel is received at least two business days prior to the trip. Written notice should be sent to upark@towson.edu.
Estimates for a trip may be obtained by faxing a completed request for estimate form to Parking and Transportation Services. Request for estimate forms will not secure service. If a department wishes to have a charter request confirmed, they MUST submit a transportation request form.
