Bus Services

JMU, in partnership with the city of Harrisonburg, has established an extensive busing system that encompasses the campus and areas within the city where a majority of off-campus students live. JMU students and faculty and staff members ride free of charge when they present a valid JMU Access Card. The bus system is a good alternative even if you have a car. It is efficient and will save you gas money, wear and tear and your car and worry about finding a parking space. Godwin Hall is the central arrival and departure point on campus. Copies of the bus schedule are available at the OCL office in Warren Hall, Godwin Hall and Festival bus stops, from any bus driver, or online at www.hdpt.com.

Bicycling

Biking is one of the most popular ways of getting around campus and town. Because of the large number of cyclists, it is wise to be aware of the laws regarding cycling and safe riding guidelines. As a general rule, it is always good to be alert for other cyclists, automobiles and pedestrians, especially when on campus. To help avoid the possibility of theft, always lock your bicycle securely to one of the many bike racks on campus. Also, register your bike with the Office of Public Safety.
