They actually said yes and the administration agreed to start the shuttle pilot program which still feels a bit like a fever dream honestly. I am sitting here staring at my phone and just thinking about how ridiculous it is that we kept pushing until they finally caved because honestly …

It has come to our attention that Pacific University lacks a college campus shuttle for students to travel outside of Forest Grove without being limited to trips to the airport or Outback excursions. A shuttle would not only benefit students, but faculty and staff as well, especially with an issue of finding parking and rising parking costs. The shuttle would go from Forest Grove to Portland and make a stop in Hillsboro.

I really thought this might just be a small group thing but seeing this momentum is honestly wild and makes me think maybe the administration will actually have to hear us out instead of just ignoring the parking mess perpetually. It feels like everyone is finally fed up with being trapped in Forest Grove and I keep refreshing the page just to see who else is joining in because this is way bigger than I imagined it would get.

I work at the Optometry clinics in Beaverton and Portland, to which I take the MAX, but sometimes taking the bus to and from the Hillsboro campus isn't feasible due to timing. I would ride a shuttle between Forest Grove and HPC again if we had one.
As a current staff member and former student a shuttle would be a huge benefit to this campus. I also was disappointed to learn that there was a shuttle when I was a student here, but due to a lack of advertising I had no idea. Please bring the shuttle back for good.
Many of my students in the English Language Institute spend four to eight hours in transit every weekend because they want to experience all that Portland has to offer before they return to their home countries. I believe that these students’ time would be better spent studying. A shuttle would significantly decrease the commute time to and from Portland.
Not only is this an environmentally-friendly idea that supports our commitment to sustainability, it might also bolster student recruitment if prospective students knew they could easily connect to Portland's extensive food, arts and entertainment offerings.
Sounds great! Not only could students/staff use travel time to study, but it would better allow my students to get to performance events - which I require in my syllabi.
Sounds like a great idea to me!
This shuttle idea would be very helpful for those of us who do not live in Forest Grove. It would be nice if it ran a couple if times/day. Right now car pooling and public transportation would be a logistical nightmare due to the time it would take to ride and trying to coordinate schedules.

I live in Portland and commute to our optometry clinics in Forest Grove and Hillsboro. I live off the MAX yellow line in North Portland, but it would take me almost 90 minutes to get to Hillsboro via MAX, which is about 3x as long as it takes to drive. I would be interested in a shuttle from Portland to Forest Grove and Hillsboro.
