About Penn Transit Services
Penn Transit Services delivers a wide selection of essential services to the Penn Community, including a robust transportation network that accommodates over 260,000 passengers every year. The departments are dedicated to providing superior service that offers safe, convenient, sustainable, and accessible options to those who come to this world-renown institution to work, study, and visit.
Dr. Michael Bernhardt, Director of Penn Transit Services, said: “WeDriveU has demonstrated the ability to hire, train, and effectively manage a fully-staffed team of professional, safety certified drivers in an extremely competitive market, while developing creative mobility strategies to improve the campus experience.”
Enhancing the Campus Experience
WeDriveU is providing more than 40 full-time drivers for the University’s fleet of vans and cutaway buses, in addition to a dedicated management team and maintenance assistants. The contract expands the initial agreement which began in 2021 when WeDriveU first began supplementing Penn Transit’s services.
Penn’s on-demand shuttles ease mobility by connecting the urban campus population to buildings and facilities, local services and public transit stops, including Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) rail stations and subway and trolley services. The service complements Penn’s wide range of commuter options, including discounted public transit passes, ridesharing services like vanpools, bike sharing, bike commuter options, and campus parking programs.
