Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Transportation in DeLand fits for a town of its size. There isn’t a major need for taxis to be on the road looking for passengers. There also isn’t really a need for a lot of bus stops, although there are a few dotting the area of DeLand. The rest of local transportation is handled by Amtrak—if you could call that local—and Greyhound. Those two systems of transportation can get anyone anywhere, from the next town to the next state. This might be helpful for those without a vehicle on campus. For national and international travel, the nearest airport is in Daytona. Daytona’s airport can handle some decent air traffic, but it won’t suit all. The best airport to use is definitely Orlando. The way to the airport is very important because for the most part it includes a lot of tolls, which can be a pretty hefty price to pay when taking or picking someone up. It’s also a heck of a lot shorter drive than going to the Tampa International Airport. The basic rule of thumb for airport travel is: If there isn’t a flight out of Daytona, then check with Orlando. Also, always remember to bring enough money for tolls.

What Transportation?

Frankly, I think I've seen a couple of bus stops on North Woodland as it runs past campus. I've never actually seen a bus there though. It's a two lane road so it would stop traffic completely, no question. I personally have my own car and have since I was a freshman. I've never had to use a bus around campus and I don't know anyone who has. If you are just trying to get around campus from one class to another, you don't need transportation. All of the buildings are easily within walking distance of each other.

Public Safety and Parking

The cost for each parking decal is about $75 a year and parking is very limited as well due to the amount of students that own cars. Otherwise, if you are parked too far from your destination, you can simply call Public Safety from your phone and they would be happy to drive you anywhere you need to be.

Public Safety

Public Safety gives rides on golf carts late at night across campus and if someone is having a health issue rides will be given any time of the day. There are also buses that take students to the airport in Orlando. Many of the groups in the Greek system have weekly designated drivers for transportation.
