AppalCart operations will limit routes and use different schedules for Labor Day weekend.

Director of AppalCart Craig Hughes said the Night Owl Service won’t operate Sept. 4 or 5. The Night Owl Service includes Gold, Pop 105, and Express routes. It operates 10 p.m. – 2:30 a.m. Thursday to Friday and 6 p.m. – 2:30 a.m. Saturday.

Hughes said AppalCart will operate via a “Sunday” schedule both Sept. 6 and 7. Sunday schedules typically run 4 p.m. – 1:30 a.m. for the NC 105 Lot Shuttle and about 12 p.m.. – 8 p.m. for Pop 105 and for Green routes.

The NC 105 Lot Shuttle won’t run Sept. 6, but will run 4 p.m. – 1:30 a.m. Sept. 7. The shuttle passes the NC 105 Lot and Hoey, Trivette, and Mountaineer halls.

AppalCart offices will be closed Monday for the holiday. More information about schedules and routes is available at AppalCart’s website or through their dispatch office at 828-297-1300.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
