After months of advocacy and working closely with Transportation Services and the administration, it is Graduate Student Government’s immense pleasure to share with you that Transportation Services started the Hancock shuttle pilot last Tuesday (Jan. 31).
A valid Michigan Tech ID will be required to ride the van. This service is available for staff, faculty, and graduate and undergraduate students.
In Hancock, the shuttle will have four stops:
- Northern Mutual Insurance
- Quincy Street / Ryan Street crossing
- Quincy Street / Michigan Street crossing
- Western Upper Peninsula Health Department
The full schedule is available online.
Please note that this is a pilot shuttle and its future will depend on its usage. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them with us by filling out the Hancock Shuttle Feedback Form. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to GSG President Ranit Karmakar at gsg-president@mtu.edu.
I think this is a great idea, my son is looking for housing next year and most things currently available are in Hancock
Thanks for your comment, Dennis! I hope your son finds a great place to live here in the Copper Country. Karen
Can you provide an update? Will the Hancock Shuttle service be available for 23/24 school year?
Hello, Dorothy. Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the Hancock Shuttle will run Monday-Friday, 7:15 am- 5:45 pm, during the 2023-24 academic year. Final details for the routes are still being decided and will be announced in the near future. Please let me know if you have additional questions.
