CARTA adds new stop at Ashley River Tower Effective March 3, a new stop at ART was  added to the CARTA (Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority) Medical Shuttle Route 203.   Upon leaving the Harborview Tower parking lot, the CARTA bus will turn left on Lockwood, and then turn left on Bee Street. The bus will then turn right on Bravo, just past the VA Hospital, and left on Ralph Johnson Street, stopping between the Wellness Center and ART. After pick-up/drop-off at ART, the CARTA Medical Shuttle 203 will continue down Courtenay, making a left on Calhoun and left onto Jonathan Lucas, picking up/dropping off at the MUSC Jonathan Lucas stop before returning to the Hagood parking system.   The MUSC ART bus will continue to stop at ART, then on to Ashley Avenue and Doughty to serve Rutledge Tower.   The MUSC Jonathan Lucas route is not affected by this change. During peak  morning and evening periods, the MUSC Jonathan Lucas bus will continue to directly connect Hagood/Harborview Parking with the Jonathan Lucas bus stop.   As a reminder—access to the entire CARTA fixed route system, including Medical Shuttle Route 203, is free of charge to MUSC staff and students. Simply have your ID ready when you board the CARTA bus.   For information regarding CARTA fixed routes and CARTA Express, visit http://www.ridecarta.com.   For additional information regarding the MUSC Shuttle Bus, visit http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/vpfa/operations/transportation/.     Friday, March 7, 2008 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
