Chauncey branding hits CCU trolley

The first of Coastal Carolina University trolleys has been “Chauncey-fied,” which is to say, it is now sporting a big Chauncey head and bright colors of teal and bronze.

Five more trolleys are headed to the bay where they’ll get the same treatment and be in operation by June. Two more trolleys will be added to the fleet by August.

“The trolleys are just another example of the consistent branding efforts of Coastal Carolina University,” says President David DeCenzo. “I am excited to see all the pieces coming together as we celebrate the excitement this visibility is creating for our campus.”

Up to 34 commuters can be accommodated on the wooden benches that provide seating for the trolleys, and up to 16 standing passengers for a total of 50 riders. More than 25 tinted windows provide passengers with views of the CCU community as they’re being ushered to and from classes. The trolleys also have racks located on the front of the vehicle, which allows students to transport their bikes safely to campus. All trolleys are handicap accessible and have automated lifts for wheelchairs.

The trolleys run the current university shuttle routes, which includes stops at university place, the main campus and the east campus. Saturday and Sunday shuttles also run from University Place to main campus, and also to Gateway Plaza in Conway. Trolleys are used during events on campus as well, to help transport visitors and individuals attending events from the parking lots to the event location.
