UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — On Wednesday, Aug. 30, Penn State students, faculty and staff can find out all they need to know about getting around the University Park campus and town — and enter to win some great prizes.
The Transportation Fair, hosted by Penn State Transportation Services, will be held on the HUB lawn from noon to 3 p.m. Transportation Services staff, as well as staff from partner organizations, will be on hand to share information on campus parking, biking, transit, bus and shuttle services, ride sharing, Penn State Fleet vehicle rentals and driver services, and more.
Visitors can enjoy fresh-baked treats from the Penn State Bakery as they browse the fair, and early birds will get an extra treat: the first 22 visitors will receive a Sbarro free meal coupon or a Berkey Creamery ice cream cone certificate.
Each visitor can tap their Penn State id+ card at the following Transportation Fair tables to enter their name into a prize drawing: Campus Shuttle/Fleet, CATA, Biking, Spin, University Police, Parking, and Student Employment. Each id+ card tap equals one entry into a drawing featuring these prizes:
- Three pairs of student tickets to see Old Dominion at the Bryce Jordan Center on Dec. 1.
- $50 Lion Surplus gift certificate.
- Five single months of free parking.
- Ten Campus Dining guest meal passes.
- Ten Shake Smart gift cards.
- Six Penn State Bakery cookie tins.
- Starbucks gift basket.
- One three-month CATABUS pass.
- Spin ride credits.
The Transportation Fair also will feature informational tables where students can learn about employment opportunities with Transportation Services and event sponsors.
This event is sponsored by the Berkey Creamery, the Bryce Jordan Center, Campus Dining, CATA, HUB Dining, Lion Surplus, the Penn State Bakery, Pepsi, Shake Smart, and Spin.
In the event of rain, the Transportation Fair will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 6.
