Biking and walking to campus can be a great option for those living within a few miles of campus.

After you enroll at Saint Francis, you can request to be added to our bike list. We would like to keep track of how many bicyclists there are coming to campus for planning purposes. Also, you may receive periodic updates with biking information and opportunities to provide program input to shape the bicycle encouragement program. 

Carpooling is a popular option for students and staff. 

After you have enrolled at Saint Francis you will have an opportunity to add your information to our carpool map. From there, you can contact other families from the map to coordinate your carpool. Our Lancer Family Connections leads will also help connect you with our incoming families in your area at our events for enrolled students over the spring and summer.
