Transportation
IU is dedicated to preserving green spaces, and as a result parking is limited on campus.
IU students manage very well without cars, and most students walk, bike, or ride the bus to campus. You'll find many safe and easy ways to get around.
- Campus Bus Service
- Multiple IU bus routes serving all ends of campus
- Bloomington Transit
- City bus routes for traveling to and from campus, and around Bloomington
- Parking Operations
- Campus parking permits and regulations
- Sustainable Transportation
- Greener ways to get around campus
Free Safe Rides
From 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights while school is in session, the Night Owl, courtesy of IU campus bus service, provides free, safe rides directly to students' residences.
The IU Safety Escort Service provides van rides to and from campus buildings and on- and off-campus housing Monday - Thursday, 8 p.m. to 1:45 a.m., and Fridays/Saturdays, 8 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. Students should call 855-SAFE.
Accessibility
The campus bus service fleet is 100 percent accessible. All buses are equipped with a kneeling feature and a wheelchair ramp. Students, staff, and faculty with disabilities can also apply to use the BTAccess bus service through Bloomington Transit.
