The city’s transit system, TransFort, tailors to neighborhoods with high concentrations of students and employees. This means our commuters have a reasonable walk to a transit stop from their home.

Most TransFort routes come directly to the Lory Student Center in the heart of campus. All students and employees can ride Transfort with their Ramcard. Here’s how you can find your closest transit stop along with the distance to walk:
