More info for Drivers:
First of all, THANK YOU for being willing to assist with transporting our members to and/or from CTS this summer! It's a highlight and many times a turning point in a member's CAP career.
Attached is a map overview of the "recommended" travel route - including a restroom/leg stretch break and lunch stop near the Gap prior to sign in. As all of our vans/POVs don't have a second senior, please try to stay in the general vicinity of each other as a safety/emergency precaution. That being said, YOU are responsible for your own van, its passengers, and the route you need to take to arrive safely.
Please also ensure that your van has at least 3/4 tank of gas upon drop off at the Gap as it will be full of gas at the end of CTS when you or the appointed driver again takes possession of the van. CTS does not have funds to pay for everyone's drive to and from the Gap. The squadron where the van is assigned should reimburse you for the fuel used during the transports if you keep your receipts to turn in (one of the obligations of having a CAP van is to get the van to and from CTS each year).
Donations or contributions toward fuel are encouraged and should be cheerfully accepted, but 100% of the donation MUST BE TURNED IN TO THE SQUADRON reimbursing the fuel expense. Do not use a cash contribution to purchase your fuel as CAP requires tracking of all fuel expenses by the squadron (I know this seems like the long way around, but it's all about maintaining accountability and integrity -- right?).
Below are the address points in the route, so you can program a GPS if you wish. The recommended restroom break point in Centre Hall is a very large and new Sheetz. The recommended lunch location is only 2 miles from sign in and has a McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Subway, and Dunkin' Donuts (something for everyone!).
If you need a ride back home after dropping the cadets off, please confer with the other drivers listed on the roster.
