Using this portal, students, faculty, and staff can choose to receive PSUAlert messages via text, voice, and email. The PSUAlert website also allows community members who cannot enroll in the PSUAlert notification system to view a list of current and prior alerts by campus.
The system will never be used to send advertising or spam messages.
Amtran presents Rider Alert
Amtran’s website includes a Rider Alert feature that enables students to sign up to be instantly alerted by email or mobile phone if there is a problem or a change to their bus routes.
"Our service is very important to Penn State Altoona students," says Eric Wolf, Amtran General Manager. "They rely on us to be dependable so that they can get to class on time. So, if there is a road construction delay or a planned change to their route, they want to know about it.
