Shuttle Time Changes To/From Kitt Peak (1Mar95)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 41, 1 March 1995)

Due to a reduction in the number of vehicles in our shuttle fleet, beginning
3 April 1995, there will be some changes in the regularly scheduled vehicles
to and from Kitt Peak.  To Kitt Peak, the 10:30 am U-drive car will depart at
11:00 from Tucson, and the 12:00 car will be eliminated.  Returning to
Tucson, the 10:30 am car will depart from the mountain at 11:00 am, and the
1:00 pm car will depart from the mountain at 2:00 pm.  The 2:30 pm
U-drive car will be eliminated.

As a reminder, the last U-drive car scheduled to Kitt Peak is at 6:00 pm
daily.  For reasons of safety, we do not schedule NOAO vehicles to the
mountain past this time.

The revised shuttle schedule (which includes weekdays, weekends, and
holidays) follows.  Please keep these times in mind when planning your trip
to Kitt Peak and filling out your Observing Run Preparation Form.
