Starting this weekend, the Osprey Connector will offer Saturday shuttle service on campus from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Previously, the campus shuttle service only ran Sunday through Friday, with no service on Saturdays. The new service complements the Town Center shuttle, which operates on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
