SFU Transportation regularly services the Johnstown/Cambria County Airport and the Altoona-Blair County Airport for flights and the Altoona Transportation Center for Amtrak train and Greyhound bus. Additionally, SFU Transportation also provides some limited services to the Pittsburgh International Airport. Low standard rates are charged for students who utilize regularly-scheduled shuttles and a competitive, premium rate is charged for students who desire a more customized service outside the regularly scheduled services. Additional services provided by the Center for Student Engagement includes weeknight shopping to local stores including the Ebensburg Walmart, and shopping malls and plazas in both Johnstown and Altoona. This service is free of charge and available on a first-come, first served basis. Students and families can find a full schedule (printable) posted to our Transportation link at francis.edu/center-for-student-engagement along with our policies and rates. The Center for Student Engagement also maintains a partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car and their exciting CarShare program that provides students access to safe, reliable Enterprise vehicles for a low hourly rate.
