 INFORMATION: Need
a Ride?
If you need a ride from the airport or train station
or bus station, contact Karen by email or
at 803-238-6497. She will need to know your time for arrival.
If you are flying
into town, we have contracted with a shuttle service, Tatters
Shuttle Service,
to provide transportation from the airport to the college (and return)
for
$10 per
trip. If you will be using this service, please let Karen know what
time your plane will arrive at CAE, and what time you need to be back
at the airport for the return trip, so we can let the shuttle
service know what time you are expecting them.
When you arrive, if you need to contact Tatters
Shuttle Service, our drivers will be Judy and Milton.
They are ready to make sure tatters have a smooth trip from the airport
to the university. If
you have any questions or concerns, such as "Now that I'm at the
airport, which door do I go out to meet the shuttle?" or "Yikes!
My plane was delayed! Are they still going to be able to meet me?" don't
hesitate to call them on their cell phone at 1- 803 237 1764 or 1- 803
237 1765."
Emergency Numbers/Family Contact Numbers
Let's do HOPE no one has any problems or emergencies while in Columbia
for TAT DAY! However, it is always nice to have a phone number to call,
just incase. And your family might feel better about you "running
off"
if they have a number that can reach you. In the age of cell phones,
most you will have a phone close by but just in case you do not, you
may give your family the number for Donna T., 803-530-0356,
her cell phone, or try
her husband Jeff at home at 803-755-2024. Or Karen's cell number is
803-238-6497.
