Here, you’ll find resources, forms, and guidelines to help you:

  • Arrange daily transportation

  • Organize rides for field trips, internships, and special events

  • Understand expectations and procedures for using Met transportation

The Met Transportation Hub brings everything together in one spot, so you can easily access what you need to keep moving forward.

ADVISORS’ GUIDE TO MET TRANSPORTATION

LTI Transportation Requests

How to Submit

  • All trip requests are submitted through FMX.

  • Requests cannot be made by email, phone or in person.

  • Fill out all required fields, including full addresses and times.

Deadlines

  • Requests are due 5 business days before date of first trip.

  • Requests submitted after the deadline (including during vacations and weekends) will be scheduled for the next week.

  • Same-week requests are not accepted.

Confirmation

  • You will receive a confirmation via FMX with pickup times and assigned drivers once your request is processed.

  • Shadow Day requests follow the same process. Students will not be allowed on buses without a completed request.

Student Expectations

  • Be ready at assigned pickup time.

  • Providence pick-up spots: Public St., Peace St. (main entrance), and East Bay (front entrance circle).

  • For early morning pickups (e.g., 8:00 AM), students have a 5-minute window. After that, they must wait for the 9:00 AM bus.

Important Notes

  • When LTIs overlap with college or Met classes, transportation cannot guarantee late-morning or exact afternoon pickups.

  • Students/Advisors must call the transportation dispatcher if canceling or changing rides.

  • If a student is a no-show in the morning, the return pickup will be cancelled unless the dispatcher has been informed otherwise.

  • Students must know their driver, bus number, and the transportation dispatcher #.

Additional Guidelines

  • No non-students or family members may ride Met buses, vans, or yellow buses.
