Getting to and from campuses and around in their communities is so important to postsecondary education students! This segment will give you and your student important information about transportation and parking. Some students and their families choose residence halls on campus and depend on buses or shuttles for transportation. Other students choose to live at home and use family members, friends, transportation vans for individuals with disabilities, or ride-hailers (for example, Lyft or Uber) to get students to campus. Before your family makes decisions on transportation, make sure to discuss the following ideas about public and private transportation, campus transportation, ride-hailing, and parking on campus.

Use this checklist to identify what is important to students and families about transportation.
