Transportation

Penn Transit champions sustainable transportation in and around our campus. A portfolio of programs and initiatives encourages staff, faculty, and students to commute sustainably and creates a more accessible campus.

Penn’s focus is on reducing single-occupancy vehicles and transitioning to a more holistic approach to transportation, including on-demand subsidized transit, fixed bus routes, and increased cyclist resources. The University supports a diverse portfolio of programs to encourage faculty, staff, students, and visitors to reduce traffic and create a cleaner future.

The Association of Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) recognized Penn's transport sustainability success as a top performer in the 2021 Sustainable Campus Index, ranked 5th in transportation.
