Need to get to class?

Whether you are driving, biking, riding the bus or walking to class – know your route and plan ahead.  

• Riding the bus? Razorback Transit has improved routes and real-time tracking via Passio GO!  
• Biking to class? Cyclists on sidewalks follow pedestrian rules, while cyclists on roads follow motor vehicle laws. Review trail etiquette and map your route.  
• Need a scooter? E-scooters are allowed anywhere bikes are, but remember that campus is a slow zone (under 6 mph).   
• Parking a car? Purchase a parking permit and review the parking map. Before home games and other special events, certain parking lots have to be vacated. Parking tickets can be handled online. 
• Need assistance? Our Paratransit service is here to help those with accessibility needs that keep them from being able to use Razorback Transit. Call 479-575-6993 for more information or to apply for Paratransit use.
