Parking

The Park & Ride lots (301 & 302) are available to individuals who have any valid KU parking permit. There are parking meters available for visitors using the lot. These lots are accessed from Clinton Parkway & Crestline Drive.

Getting on the Bus

Go to a designated Park & Ride Express bus stop. Take a seat or use the hand holds provided for those choosing to stand. The ramp in front of each bus can be lowered for passengers who have difficulty boarding. Please inform the driver if you need assistance in boarding. The driver has the right to restrict boardings if the bus is full.

Getting Off the Bus

Indicate to your driver when you want to get off the bus by pulling the bell cord above the windows prior to your destination stop. The bus will stop at the next designated Park and Ride Express stop. Please remain seated or grasp the hand hold until the bus has stopped. After you exit, stand to the side of the road or on the sidewalk until the bus has pulled away. For your safety, do not cross in front of the bus.

Special Events

Special events on campus that attract large crowds or disrupt normal travel patterns may disrupt the Park & Ride Express route and/or schedule. When possible, notice of such disruption may be posted in advance.
