Transportation
Our pedestrian friendly campus is located less than a mile from downtown Meadville. We offer an array of alternative transportation options to make it easy to avoid owning or using a car.
Bike Share
Use your student ID to check out a free bike, lock, and helmet from the library through the student-run Bike Share program. Repair your personal bike at the bike maintenance station at the library or participate in Bike Shop open hours to learn maintenance skills from experienced bike mechanics. The Bike Share also hosts community bike rides, bike-blended smoothie events, and offers a fleet of expedition bikes in collaboration with the Outing Club.
CATA Loop
All students can catch free rides on the CATA Loop, a bus route tailored to college students. The route connects students to restaurants, shopping, and events in downtown Meadville and a movie theatre, grocery, and retail stores just outside Meadville.
EV Charging Stations
Plug into our universal electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the Vukovich and Bentley parking lots. Generously donated by an alum, the chargers are powered with our wind-generated renewable electricity.
