Our Programs and Services

The services are run by the ASUP Vice President and the programs are advised by the Associate Director of Student Activities, Elizabeth Parkman. The services and programs provide resources for students that help better their experience at UP. Events through these programs are usually either free or subsidized due to these being funded through ASUP and the student activities fee. Read below for details about each program and service!

Pilots Audio and Lighting

Director: Fiona Casbarro

Advisor: Elizabeth Parkman

Contact: pal.asup@up.edu

Pilots Audio & Lighting (PAL), formerly CPB Sound, is a rental service providing sound and light equipment to campus organizations. Because this service is student-operated, it is not available during the Summer semesters.

If there are any questions please contact the PAL Director.

Pilot Express

Director: Thomas Bell (pilotexpress@up.edu)

Advisor: Elizabeth Parkman

This service provides limited transportation to and from the airport, train station, and bus stations for Fall Break (October), Thanksgiving Break (November), Winter Break (December), Spring Break (March), Easter Break (March), and Summer Break (May). The Pilot Express is coordinated by a student director who supervises the student drivers and who reports to the ASUP Vice-President.

Because this is a student-operated service, the shuttle does not operate at the beginning of the academic year.

How to Sign-Up:

Sign-ups begin one to two weeks before each break.
- Students should check the “My Announcements” section on the Pilots UP portal for sign-up announcements.
- Students may also request to be put on the reminder email list by emailing the current Director

Come to the Office of Student Activities in St. Mary’s Student Center during the sign up period. You must pay with cash.
- Business hours are 8:30am-6:00pm, Monday–Thursday; 8:30am-5:00pm Fridays.
  - Bring your flight/train/bus information and the appropriate amount of money to pay for your trip. See below for current rates.

The Pilot Express does not provide service to the Bolt Bus station due to the close proximity of the 35 and 44 Trimet Bus Lines.
Each ride is limited to 6 passengers, except during the Christmas Break when increased luggage requires us to limit each ride to 5 passengers.
After you sign up, you will receive a reminder sheet that details where to meet the shuttle, both departing and arriving, what to do if your travel plans change, contact information for the director, and a place to make a note of the details of your rides. If you have lost your sheet, you can download a new copy of the Reminder Sheet

Wheelchair Accessible Alternatives
