The Squeeze is going to college. Starting Friday, Nov. 15, the weekend Squeeze service will serve the Florida Southern College Campus to provide service to students wishing to travel to downtown Lakeland.
The Fast, Frequent and Free service operates Friday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The move to add a stop to FSC was spurred by a partnership between Citrus Connection and the college’s administration team. The Squeeze will assist in bringing the great students of FSC to enjoy the vitality and variety of local businesses and events in downtown Lakeland.
“On behalf of the entire Citrus Connection team, we are thrilled to partner with Florida Southern College to provide safe, fun and free golf cart transportation to all that Lakeland has to offer downtown on the weekend,” said Citrus Connection General Manager Tom Phillips.
The FSC Squeeze stop is located at the existing Mocs Shuttle stop in front of the ROTC building providing safe and easy access to the route.
The Squeeze is the first Public Transit Golf Cart program in the US and uses 8-person, street legal golf carts, with professional drivers to provide free transit to downtown Lakeland and the RP funding center. Full routes can be found at www.ridecitrus.com.
