Public Transit. Most students, faculty and staff find public transit to be the most convenient and economical way to get to campus. Avoid the parking headaches; PSU is serviced by many common, frequent service routes.
Bicycles. Riding your bike is a great mode of transportation that can save you money over driving & parking. There are many park & lock locations along with a community-supported Bike Cooperative to help you maintain your bicycle.
Motorcycles & Scooters. Motorcycles offer another convenient way to get to PSU. While you can park your motorcycle in an automobile parking spot after purchasing a permit, PSU campus offers many motorcycle-only parking spots around campus.
