Cookeville Regional Launches Car-to-Curb Shuttle Service

Cookeville Regional Medical Center has launched a new Car-to-Curb shuttle service for patients, visitors, and staff. The service is available Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

“We are excited to relaunch a shuttle service for our medical center. We had a van in the past that would drive around, but we needed more wheels on the ground. Cookeville Regional now has two six-seater white golf carts that will be around campus, getting our staff, patients, and visitors to the front entrance of the medical center,” said Craig Norris, director of Patient Experience.

The trained car-to-curb drivers are ready to assist riders Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and take them to Cookeville Regional’s on-campus offices. As guests and staff arrive, signs will be posted in the parking lot with the Car-to-Curb phone number (931) 252-1281 to call for pick up.  When they leave, they can contact the same number to be picked up and taken to their car. There are also shuttle stop locations on CRMC’s main campus and the Car-to-Curb drivers will be stopping by those areas as well.

“Caring for our people also starts by helping them get to our building or office safely. We know parking continues to be an issue at the medical center, so we looked into several options and ended up going with a car-to-curb service. This option allowed for multiple shuttles around campus to welcome and assist our patients, visitors and staff.” said Buffy Key, CEO at Cookeville Regional.

The shuttles will not operate on weekends or holidays at this time and are not handicap accessible at this time.

Add CRMC’s Car-to-Curb shuttle phone number (931) 252-1281 for quicker access to the shuttle upon arrival.
