Take advantage the many car-free options found below to save time and money as you travel to and from WCU, while reducing environmental impacts.  The benefits of leaving your car at home and finding an alternative commute are worthwhile!

  • Regional transit and free WCU Shuttle Buses provide a variety of ways for students and employees to travel to and within the WCU campus.
  • For students living in the Borough or on campus, these options create an opportunity to live car-free!
  • The recent addition of the Uptown Loop through the Borough of West Chester has helped connect campus to the larger community in a quick, 30-minute trip.

 

Regional Transit

SEPTA and ChesCo Bus tickets and fares may be purchased from SSI on the ground floor of Sykes Student Union.

Worried that taking public transit to campus might leave you stranded in the case of an unexpected or unplanned event? The Emergency Ride Home program can reimburse you for emergency use of a taxi, rental car, or Uber or Lyft. (See the webpage for the Emergency Ride Home for details on the conditions and requirements of this program.)

WCU Shuttle Buses

 You can find up to date information on all University Shuttle Bus schedules on the University’s Shuttle Bus webpage as well as live GPS tracking and inclement weather updates on the "WCU Shuttle Bus" app, available for download on Google Play and Itunes App Store.  

The WCU Uptown Loop Shuttle Bus, providing connection to downtown West Chester, including the Chester County Hospital and Bradford Plaza, provides service Monday - Friday while classes are in session during the Fall and Spring semesters only.  Just look for the mini bus with the “Uptown Loop" sign in the window.
