Is transportation available from mass transit hubs?
Gettysburg College provides safe and convenient transportation to/from local airports and train stations including Harrisburg international Airport, Harrisburg Amtrak Station, BWI & Baltimore Amtrak, and Dulles International Airport. The shuttle runs on specific group shuttle times to best accommodate groups, but personal charters can be arranged for a higher price, reflecting the college’s standard transportation cost.
