Shuttle Services- Evening and Holiday Schedule

Hofstra is happy to announce some new expansions in their shuttle services. Below is some information on these newly expanded transportation services:

Does your student live off-campus? Do they often tell you that they’ve been studying late in the library for exams and walked back to their apartment or residence hall in the later hours? Maybe they got a late-night bite to eat with a study group on the south campus and need to get back to their residence hall on the north campus? Hofstra is pleased to let you know about the Hofstra Night Shuttle, an expansion of our shuttle service for students, running through the neighborhoods surrounding Hofstra during the overnight hours, from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. The night shuttle will travel from various points on the North and South campus, to local eating and entertainment establishments, and through areas of Hempstead and Uniondale where many students live. Students will only need to show their ID to board the shuttle. This shuttle service will be very convenient and reliable for those students that works or studies late as well as those who need to travel to and from off-campus in the nearby areas.

Students can even track the Hofstra Night Shuttle on their mobile device by going to my.hofstra.edu and tap the ‘Night Shuttle’ icon. They can also view the schedule by logging onto the portal and clicking the ‘Night Shuttle’ icon on My Apps.

Your student can view the schedule here and see where the evening shuttle stops.

Please encourage your student to take advantage of the night shuttle!

Year-Round Shuttle Service - In addition to the newly added night shuttle services, Hofstra’s shuttle service will continue to travel during the day and evening to the local terminals (Mineola and Hempstead) as well as throughout the North and South campus. You can view the current shuttle schedule here.

Does your student need a lift to JFK airport to get home for Thanksgiving?

There will be shuttle service to JFK airport on Wednesday, November 27^th. There will be only 3 trips leaving from the Student Center at 7AM, 12PM, & 3PM. Please note that there are only 20 seats on the shuttle so reservations will be on a first-come first-serve basis. To make a reservation email: Maryann.sarro@hofstra.edu and include the student’s 700#, cellphone #, and airline info.

Please keep in mind with all of these shuttle services it’s important that students travel safely. If possible students should plan to travel during the daylight hours and notify their family/friends of their mode of transportation. 

Safe Travels,

Yolanda Brown
