Transportation
transportation
Sustainable forms of transportation not only reduce impact on the environment, they can be more convenient, more efficient and more cost effective. By choosing to walk, bike, bus, or carpool, we can reduce the number of cars on the road, and thus reduce air and noise pollution, time lost in traffic, and save money on gas.
Bicycling is an excellent way to:
- Minimize car use
- Save money on gas
- Exercise
Bicycle Programs at UF
For those interested in choosing a bicycle for some or all transportation needs, the following programs offer support for students faculty and/or staff:
UF embraces the use of electric vehicles (EVs) by faculty, staff, students, and visitors. We are expanding the percentage of electric vehicles in our campus fleet and enhancing charging infrastructure to service those fleet vehicles and the personal EVs of the community that works, studies, and visits our campus.
A map of EV charging locations on campus can be found at: https://campusmap.ufl.edu/# by selecting Transportation > EV Charging.
The Regional Transit System (RTS) bus service is owned and operated by the City of Gainesville, and UF contracts with RTS to provide free public transportation for students, faculty and staff with a valid Gator 1 ID.
RTS runs 7 days a week, with routes throughout the UF campus and Gainesville, allowing you to use its convenient services for weekend errands as well as school and work commuting. Many buses have bicycle racks so you can take your bike with you. All buses now run on a B20 biodiesel blend.
