Due to the security arrangments regarding the Pope's visit, the CUA/Towers Shuttle will not be running on Wednesday, April 16th or Thursday, April 17th.

In an effort to provide students with direct referrals to modern, safe, and reasonably priced off-campus options, Housing Services developed a relationship with the following local apartment complex.

Shuttle service between CUA and The Towers at University Town Center will be provided during the 2007-2008 academic year for CUA students living at The Towers.  Below are the program guidelines and rules, pick-up/drop-off locations, behavioral expectations, and the schedule.  The Catholic University of America reserves the right to modify these CUA/Towers Shuttle rules at any time.  Please visit this website for the most current information.
