North campus, central campus, and south campus are connected by Mountain Campus Transit (MCT). MCT has two different routes that provide a great way to reliably get from place to place. When your class on north campus gets out and you have 20 minutes to reach the next one on south, MCT is the way to go. Flagstaff’s bus line, Flagstaff Mountain Line, is not often used by students. Most of the things you need are within walking distance from campus, so unless you plan to visit Route 66, the city system is useless. Sometimes a “drunk bus” will be available on the weekends for transportation to and from an off-campus event. That way, students who had too much sauce can get home in one piece. Taxi cabs are another popular option. If you live out of state and plan to fly, you will have to go through Phoenix and drive up from there. Phoenix is an enormous city with plenty of transportation options, so you pretty much have your pick of what to do. The Greyhound bus system and Amtrak rail are more ways for students to get out of Flagstaff and, though a little pricey, they are very reliable. In the Union and in several of the residence halls, you may find a ride board where students can post if they need a ride or passengers. It’s a great way to catch a lift and maybe meet a new buddy, too. Transportation is never really a concern here at NAU.

All students have free access to the huge chain of shuttles going through the entire campus as well as into the neighboring areas. I've never had a problem getting around, even in a blizzard.

Transportation
The need for a car on the NAU campus is really not that great. Normally a bike or walking can get you just about anywhere on campus and areas close to campus. One of the bus routes is free to students and will take you everywhere important except for the mall. The buses are fairly regular during the week.

Frequent Buses at Good Hours
Buses come every couple minutes through a spine that runs from north to south campus. There are also buses that go to and from the downtown district to get students who have been drinking home safely.

Tired of walking? Feel like catching the walkway waves? A popular way to get around on the mountain campus is riding a longboard. These elongated skateboards provide an easy way to travel and have become the hippest new thing since ranch dressing on pizza. Cruise the sidewalk and pretend you’re at the beach while you go from A to B.

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
