Getting Around Campus

An overview of campus transportation options is available at http://parking.ufl.edu/transit-commuting. A point-to-point “Campus Cab” is available for UF faculty and staff on the main campus, East Campus, and some UF facilities in Alachua.

A wheelchair-accessible cab is available upon request. Email campuscab@ufl.edu, call (352) 392-7433, or learn more at http://parking.ufl.edu/transit-commuting/campus-cab/.

Regional Transit System (RTS)

RTS provides public transportation covering most of Gainesville with frequent stops on bus routes throughout campus. It is a free benefit of employment with a Gator1 Card. For route information, please visit www.go-rts.com. A real-time GPS locator for buses is also available at ufl.transloc.com.

Bicycles

Gainesville and the University of Florida are bicycle-friendly communities, as many employees and students opt to ride their bikes to campus. When available, use bike lanes and always adhere to Florida’s bicycle laws. Most RTS buses are equipped with bicycle racks so you can take your bike with you. For more information about bikes at the University of Florida, see bikes.ufl.edu.

Carpool Program

UF’s carpool program encourages eligible University of Florida and UF Health faculty and staff members to share the ride to and from campus. Registered carpool members purchase their own annual carpool decals at about half the cost of an Orange or Blue faculty/staff decal. UF Zimride can help you find carpool partners by searching for other employees who live near you and have similar schedules and lifestyle preferences. For more information, visit zimride.com/ufl.
