Transportation and parking

An accessible shuttle for use by students, faculty and staff is scheduled on a priority basis for students who have mobility disabilities. Students requiring door to door pick up are required to present supporting Medical Documentation when registering with our office. The shuttle bus transports eligible UAF students between UAF facilities. However, community buses are accessible and stop on campus as well.
