Pinnacle Campus has expanded the "Park & Ride" shuttle service to Pinnacle Campus. Due to City of Austin code enforcement, the former unpaved dirt parking lots at Pinnacle were closed on Sept. 26, removing approximately 400 parking spaces on that campus.
The "Park & Ride" system is serviced by two charter busses, and is free to ACC students.
There are three stops on the route: Pinnacle Campus, the Oak Hill Shopping Center at Highway 290 at Highway 71, and the Tony Burger Activity Center at 3200 Jones Rd. The busses stop every 30 minutes at each stop from 7 a.m.- 6 p.m. Monday-Thursday.
The service has been operating since Sept. 25, at the expense of the college. "It seems pretty ridiculous because nobody's going to use it," said Pinnacle student Vijay Isham.
Pinnacle transfer student Megan Zimmerman said, "It's too far away to park and ride," adding that the service is "not time efficient if I have to wait half an hour before going to work."
