Transportation

Ditch the Car!

First-year students, especially those living on campus are strongly encouraged not to bring a car to campus. Why you ask?

• Students rarely use their cars as everyone on campus walks, bikes, or takes the shuttle to get around campus.
• More than 65% of students never bring a car to campus and travel easily without a car.
• Students cannot park outside of their permit zone during the day (so no driving to class).
• There are many transit options to get off campus, out of Flagstaff, and out of state.
• We get snow and digging out your car is no fun.
• A parking permit and gas are costly!

Biking

• Northern Arizona University ranked GOLD from the League of American Bicyclists and is recognized as a Bike Friendly University. Learn more here.
• Ditch the car and parking fees and use a bike instead. Biking on campus is convenient and easy. Bike racks are located close to most buildings and there are designated lanes just for bike users.
