Faculty and staff who wish to ride the Ferry Shuttle can remit the fee to the Office of Parking & Dolphin Card Services by visiting the Parking and Dolphin Card Services Office in 3A-106 during business hours, or by using the following link: https://csi-sp.transactcampus.com/eaccounts/

Dolphin Card holders with TAC may bring one guest per ride by swiping their Dolphin Card twice.
 
Guests not accompanied by a member of the College community will be permitted access by contacting the Office of Operational Services in advance (email Andrew.Diaz@csi.cuny.edu) and requesting a Visitor Bus Pass.
