Spread the word about new parking options at GRCC

Posted on by

Encourage your students to explore parking ramp alternatives this fall.

Students can save time — and, in some cases, money — by using the DASH and College Avenue lot and shuttle, the DeVos lot and shuttle, or the Rapid and Silver Line bus.

Starting Aug. 25, students will be charged $3.50 per swipe in GRCC ramps and lots. If they sign up to use the DASH or the College Avenue lot by August 15, they get a 10 percent discount for the 2014-15 academic year! Click here to learn more.

The Rapids’ new Silver Line is scheduled to start August 25. Its features include:

  • running from 60th Street to GRCC in 30 minutes.
  • free Wi-Fi.
  • ticket vending at each station.
  • three-position bus bike racks.

Learn more about campus parking options here.

Foster Kids Care Bag 100th Anniversary Project

Children entering foster care often arrive with no belongings. D.A. Blodgett and St. John’s home try to provide each foster child in Kent County with a “care bag” containing items they can immediately call their own. Please help the Grants Department commemorate GRCC’s 100th Anniversary by contributing to our goal of providing 100 care bags to children entering foster care. Your contribution will make a big difference in a child’s life!
