How to Get to the Airport
- Flagstaff Pulliam is just a short drive south on I-17, approximately four miles outside of the city limits. Most students either bum a ride or call a cab. A cab ride to the Flagstaff airport costs $10, and a shuttle ride to the Phoenix airport costs $30.
College Prowler Take
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. Students Speak Out

Public transportation is very good. It’s a small town, so taxis don’t cost that much and are an effective way to get around if you don’t have a car. |

The public transportation on the NAU campus (Mountain Campus Transit) is pretty convenient, I find. Sometimes, however, the buses take much longer than just ‘15 minutes,’ so plan ahead if you’re going to take the bus anywhere—you will not be guaranteed to be on time. |

Did You Know?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.
