Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Considering that Pocatello is not a huge metropolitan city, transportation is not too bad for students. Anywhere students need to go in town is mostly within walking or biking distance. The sidewalks are nice and provide a good surface for walkers, joggers, and bikers running errands or heading for a quick trip to the grocery store. And of course, there are always good friends and roommates that love to chaperone! The ISU transportation system is also very beneficial. PRT buses will take students from campus all the way to the mall in Chubbuck and back. Students can also schedule to take the buses to Idaho Falls, Exit 113, Blackfoot, Twin Falls, Burley, and American Falls. Buses operate only while ISU is in session, which includes fall, spring, and summer terms.

Transporation

Transportation is very good. There are bus options to get around town and campus is small enough yet big enough where you can just walk.

Transportation for Students at Idaho State University

Here at Idaho State University, there are plenty of options you can choose to get to your destination of choice. On campus during major school hours, there are buses running from upper campus to lower campus all the time. Which is good because ISU is comprised of several different hills. There are also community buses that head to the mall, movie theaters and restaurants near that area and only cost 48 cents to ride. But watch out these buses stop their runs around 6 p.m.. Cheap bus passes are available to those who ride often enough. If a student wants to go home for the weekend, there are a select few charter buses that pick up students up at select areas and drop them off at their hometowns.
