Parking & Transportation
You have options when navigating around campus, the Harrisonburg com- munity and beyond. These options include the local bus system, regional transporta- tion, ride-sharing, biking, walking and more. Parking First-year residential students are not allowed to have cars on campus. Approved first year commuter students have designated lots that they can park in once they purchase a JMU parking pass. The Parking website is a great resource for parking pass cost, making a purchase, event or visitor parking. All vehicles that are parked on JMU property must be registered with Parking and Transit Services. Unregistered vehicles are subject to citation. For information on parking during Athletics events, visit the Athletics website. Bus service The Harrisonburg Department of Public Transportation provides fare-free bus service for all JMU students. Bus routes begin at 7 a.m. and continue until about 11 p.m. on weekdays, with reduced schedules on weekends and holidays. The JMU Rideshare app provides point-to-point directions, bus routing, cycling and walking routes and carpool options. Several bus companies stop at Godwin Transit Center and provide transportation to local destinations, as well as air- ports and cities both in and out of state. Biking JMU is a Silver Level Bicycle Friendly University. There are over 10 miles of bike lanes on campus. If there is no bike lane, bikes are permitted to use the full car lane in the direction of traffic. Riders should obey traffic laws. Additionally, bikes are permitted on sidewalks and multi-use paths everywhere on campus. JMU strongly recommends wearing a helmet when riding on campus and locking your bike with a U-lock.
