Provide location of pickup, location of drop-off, and number of passengers.

Requests are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Be prepared to meet the van at the main entrance of your building. In order for us to serve as many customers as possible, be ready to board the van before making the call for pickup.

Ronkonkoma LIRR Train Station Shuttle

A shuttle van operates Monday through Friday, with the exception of holidays and Laboratory closures, to transport Laboratory staff, guests, and visitors to and from the Long Island Railroad Ronkonkoma train station. Riders are asked to be certain they have their badge before arriving on site.

Due to limited seating, reservations are required. If the shuttle is full, you will be put on the waitlist if and when a seat becomes available. Reserve a seat using TripShot.

  • Reserve a shuttle ride to the train "Routes" and select "Train Station Run" and select which time and location you need to be picked up from.
  • All shuttles will depart from the Laboratory at the bus shelters of Bldg. 400 on Bell Avenue and SUSC.
  • The Courtesy Service will only accommodate bags/parcels that fit on the passenger's lap or beneath their seat.
  • Passengers arriving at the Ronkonkoma LIRR station should exit to the north side of the tracks and wait at street level in front of the Long Island Railroad Ticket Office. The shuttle will wait 10 minutes from the time the train arrives for passengers to board.
