Utica Campus to Rome Campus - Centro Bus

Centro Bus Between Utica and Rome Campus

Centro Bus offers travel between the MVCC Utica Campus and the Rome Campus. 

FALL 2025 Temporary Shuttle - 1st three weeks of the semester:

MVCC will provide transportation between the Rome and Utica campuses, and the Rome A&P hanger for the first three weeks of the Fall semester.  This is only in place for the 1st three weeks in order to give students the opportunity to become familiar with the Centro Bus service or to make alternate travel arrangements.

  • Pick up and drop off on the Utica Campus will be at the Bellamy Hall Parking Lot.
  • Pick up and drop off on the Rome Campus will be at the north entrance outside of the library.
  • The shuttle will also stop at the A&P Hanger entrance.

Students must show their MVCC ID or a state issued identification card. It is also expected that students will adhere to public transportation etiquette at all times of their ridership.

The contracted company is named APEX.  If the vehicle does not say APEX, it is not the shuttle.  A rider log will be maintained to include rider name, date, time, and destination.
