We have included a small section on all commercial airports in the shown area that you can find below. We have also included a paragraph on school/college transportation, we listed all major universities in the mapped area and included same advice on traveling between the school and the airport.

Important: it is important to note that in some areas airport shuttle is not available (you can still hire a private car or van but no ride share). It is true especially in rural areas. In this case you want to contact you county and see if they have dial a ride service (most rural areas do!) it is just like a shuttle, will offer door-to-door service. Even though it will not take you to the airport, it can take you major transportation hub, bus/train station, or transit center, from there you can get an airport shuttle or express bus going your way to the airport. Keep in mind Amtrak Rail and Greyhound Bus Lines as well they might be a great alternatives when going far.
