Saint Francis is accessible by public transit from communities throughout the Bay Area. Caltrain provides a convenient connection from San Francisco to Gilroy, with the Mountain View Transit Center serving as the primary hub for students traveling to campus.

To make transit an even more practical option for our families, Saint Francis provides morning shuttle service from the Mountain View Caltrain station to campus and contributes 30% toward the cost of a student’s monthly Caltrain pass. Additional local transit options, including VTA and the Mountain View Community Shuttle, provide connections between the transit center and the surrounding neighborhood.

Whether coming from the Peninsula, South Bay or farther afield, public transit can make Saint Francis closer than you might think.

For students who live closer to campus, biking or walking can be a simple and flexible way to get to Saint Francis. Our Mountain View location connects to neighborhoods and bicycle routes throughout the surrounding community, making active transportation a practical option for many students.

Saint Francis provides resources to help families plan safe, comfortable routes to campus, along with bicycle parking for students who ride. Biking and walking can also be combined with public transit, giving students even more flexibility in planning their daily commute.

Whether on two wheels or two feet, getting to Saint Francis may be easier than you think.

Carpooling is a popular way for Saint Francis families to make the daily commute more convenient while connecting with other Lancer families in their area. With students traveling to campus from communities throughout the Bay Area, families may find others nearby making a similar trip each day.

Saint Francis helps families connect through our carpool network, making it easier to coordinate shared rides to and from campus.

A longer commute can become a lot easier when you don’t have to make it alone.
