Public Transportation
As a JMU student, you can ride the bus for
free!
Since finding an open parking space on campus can be challenging, riding a Harrisonburg
transit bus to campus and/or while you are on campus may be an option worth
exploring. The buses travel from one side of the campus to another and can
save a student much time. The bus system is a unique form of transportation
available to the city of Harrisonburg including JMU. There are routes to take
you all over campus and Harrisonburg as well as to and from the apartment complexes.
It is free to all students, faculty and staff. A bus schedule can be found
at any bus stop, information sites or at http://64.203.166.35/index.pl/_the_schedule3.
The home page for the transit buses of Harrisonburg Department of Transportation
is located at http://64.203.166.35/index.pl/transit.
The routes are listed there for your planning purposes.
If you live in Augusta County, another option may be to catch a shuttle
from Blue Ridge Community College to JMU. The BRCC Shuttle offers free
transportation for students from Rockingham and Augusta Counties, as
well as the cities of Harrisonburg and Staunton, and offers connecting
service to Waynesboro. Go to http://www.brcc.edu/Student/shuttle.htm for
details.
