<p>KatMt, reaching out to students by email to offer a ride, is so kind. This is what I love about JMU. My son is a current student there. If it were not for Collegetransit, there would have been times that we would have had to drive a long way to pick him up. For our family it would require taking time off from work, and a hotel stay. So far, he has found transportation (student rides or Collegetransit), but he has had to talk to professors at times when his transportation left before his last class! Professors have all been very understanding and have excused him.</p>
<p>fladad, I have thought about the situation you described. I inquired about this, and I was told by another parent that Homeride is really designed for instate students. I think that there should be a few smaller shuttles for those with delayed flights. Nearly 30% of students are from out of state. Is your daughter enjoying her freshman year?</p>
