Starting October 20, 2025, Penn State University students will have a more convenient and stress-free way to travel during school breaks. Relax and Ride Carlisle, a trusted name in regional transportation, will begin offering shuttle service from PSU Main Campus directly to Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) for all major breaks throughout the academic year.

This new service aims to support students by eliminating the hassle of arranging long-distance travel or relying on multiple transfers during busy travel periods. With thousands of students traveling home during fall, winter, spring, and summer breaks, this new shuttle system is expected to be a popular and much-needed resource.

Reliable and Convenient Transportation

The shuttles will depart directly from a central location on PSU’s University Park campus, making it easy for students to board and head straight to the airport without multiple stops or confusion. Details on the exact pick-up point and schedule are available by contacting the company directly at 717-706-2578.

According to Relax and Ride Carlisle, the service is designed with student needs in mind:

Affordable pricing

Comfortable seating with Wi-Fi and charging ports

Professional drivers with experience in long-distance travel

Plenty of room for luggage

The shuttle will operate on a pre-registration basis, so students are encouraged to book early, especially around peak travel periods like Thanksgiving, winter break, and spring break.

Break Schedule Shuttle Coverage

The service begins just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, one of the busiest travel times of the year. Moving forward, the shuttle will be available for all key breaks, including:

Thanksgiving Break (late November)

Winter Break (mid-December to early January)

Spring Break (March)

End of Spring Semester (May)

Summer Sessions (May–August, as needed)

Relax and Ride Carlisle is working closely with campus groups and student services to ensure smooth coordination and communication. Updates, reservation information, and reminders will also be distributed through student email lists and posted on campus boards.

Designed with Students in Mind

The founders of Relax and Ride Carlisle understand the challenges students face when trying to coordinate long-distance travel, especially if they do not have access to a vehicle or are traveling far from central Pennsylvania.

“We know that traveling home or to the airport can be a real headache, especially when buses and trains don’t always align with flight schedules,” said a company spokesperson. “Our goal is to make this part of students’ travel easy, affordable, and reliable.”

The shuttles will run on time to meet major flight windows at Harrisburg International Airport, giving students peace of mind that they’ll arrive at their terminals with plenty of time to spare.
