The closest street parking available requires a walk of about 10-15 minutes in order to reach the main campus. For those who would like to avoid driving to campus there are several options. Graduate and family housing residents can make use of the bus and shuttle systems. Buses and shuttles make several daily scheduled stops at various university housing locations. A map of the bus and shuttle routes and usage regulations are accessible from the Parking and Transportation Services Web site.
Bikes are a welcome form of transportation on the UK campus.
Please see the Parking and Transportation Services Web site for bike rules and regulations and route and parking maps. The Lexington bus system, Lextran, stops at many convenient locations throughout Lexington, including many right on campus. Your student ID will be extremely important to you while in graduate school. Your student ID allows you to check out library materials, use copiers and printers throughout campus, purchase supplies, and purchase food at any UK Food Services establishment. Purchasing from your student ID requires that you make a deposit to your Plus Account.
