1. Rowan University Shuttle ID Policy
   Rowan University requires students, faculty, and staff to show a valid Rowan ID to ride the shuttle.
   1. Riders will not be allowed to board the shuttle without a valid Rowan ID.
   2. Vouching for another rider is not permissible, and using someone else’s ID will be considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
   3. All matters that may delay the shuttle should be reported to the Assistant Director of Business Operation Operations and Services or a shuttle company representative.
   4. The shuttle will not wait for a rider who forgets his or her ID if a temporary pass is not issued in a timely manner. The rider will have to catch the next shuttle. To receive a temporary pass, please follow the steps listed below:
      1. The shuttle driver connects a rider with the Assistant Director of Business Operations and Services or shuttle dispatcher.
      2. The rider calls the Assistant Director of Business Operations and Services (856) 562-5189 or shuttle dispatcher number (856) 227-7571.
      3. To verify the rider’s status, the rider is asked to provide his/her ID number. Upon verification of rider’s status, permission is sent to the rider’s cell phone, which must be shown to the shuttle driver before boarding the shuttle.
      4. If a rider misplaces or loses an ID, efforts should be made ahead of time to replace the lost ID or get a temporary pass.
      5. The rider may also scan a copy of the University ID to his or her cell phone, as the ID verification process can take 5–10 minutes or longer.
