There is a shuttle departing Crossroads for Center Green at 7:50 am as well as shuttles returning from Center Green to Crossroads at 5:06 pm, 5:36 pm, and 6:06 pm. When looking at the schedule, you will want to look at the Mesa Lab to Foothills table in the morning. You will need to arrive at the Crossroads transportation center several minutes before the time in the 'leave x-roads' column. When returning in the evening, you will use the Foothills to Mesa Lab schedule and will need to be ready at the Center Green shuttle pick up area several minutes before the time in the 'leave CG' column. You'll notice that the shuttle does not stop at Crossroads on every run, so please look at he schedule carefully. Also, the shuttle follows a fixed route and time schedule so drivers will only be able to stop at the indicated locations.
