Transportation to Campus
If you are arriving at the Greater Rochester International Airport, the Amtrak train
station, or the Greyhound bus station, you can hire a taxi to transport you to campus.
At the airport, the taxi pick up is located outside the baggage claim area of the
terminal. At the train depot and bus station, taxis are usually parked just outside
the station. If a taxi is not available, the staff at the ticket window can call a taxi
for you.
Shuttle Service – On-campus
Shuttle buses, including accessibility vans, will be running throughout campus on Wednesday and Thursday of first-year orientation. A golf cart, operated by the Orientation Staff, will be available for senior citizens and individuals with special needs. We do not have wheelchairs available on campus. If you would like to rent a wheelchair, you may contact Southside Medical Supply (585) 271-7141, Monroe Wheelchair at (585) 546-8595, or Fonte Surgical Supply at (585) 338-1000 or (800) 836-2130.
