Welcome to the Transportation Department. This site will inform you of the services we offer to the Gallaudet community. Our primary responsibility is to provide transportation for students, including transporting KDES commuter students to and from school, athletic teams to competitions, and students in general to extra-curricular activities. We also provide a shuttle bus service to and from Union Station and the NoMA-Gallaudet University metro stop, which can be used by students, faculty, teachers, and staff, a vehicle lease service, and a messenger service.
Safety is our primary consideration. Our drivers possess commercial driver's licenses and submit to annual and random drug testing. Staff members are trained annually in CPR and First Aid as well as in defensive driving. All Gallaudet vehicles are systematically inspected and maintained by our staff mechanics. Our office is located in the Appleby Building.
Our office hours during the academic school year are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and our summer hours are 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Your opinion of our service is important to us, and we encourage you to offer feedback on our Customer Satisfaction Survey. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via transportation@gallaudet.edu.
**EFFECTIVE Monday, August 7, 2017, service to the NOMA/Gallaudet/M St NE Station will be SUSPENDED until further notice. We will only pick-up/drop-off passengers at Union Station. We will notify the campus community as soon as services are restored. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
