Transportation to campus
For those arriving by plane, at the Greater Rochester International Airport, you may contract a taxi to transport you to campus. The taxi pick up is located outside the baggage claim area of the terminal. The taxi fare for the trip from the airport to RIT will cost you approximately $20.
For those arriving at the train depot, you may obtain a taxi to transport you to campus. As you exit the train depot taxis are generally lined up to the left of the depot. If a taxi is not available, the staff at the ticket window will call a taxi for you. The taxi fare for the trip from the train depot to RIT will cost you approximately $20.
For those arriving at the bus station, you may contract a taxi to transport you to campus. Taxis are generally parked in front of the bus station. If a taxi is not available, the staff at the ticket window will call a taxi for you. The taxi fare for the trip from the bus station to RIT will cost you approximately $20.
An additional way to arrange for a taxi from the airport, train depot, and bus station is to contact RIT’s Campus Safety at (585) 475-2853. Public Safety will contact a taxi vendor for you and arrange a ride. Campus Safety can also arrange for the cost of the taxi fare to be charged to your RIT student account.
