Transportation Options
Students attending SMC have many options to get to campus without driving alone in a car. In fact, 60% of our students get to campus by bus, train, carpool, bike, scooter or by walking ,because they know it saves money on gas and permits/tickets and is less stressful and more consistent than driving.
Explore your mobility options using commute.smc.edu (opens in new window) SMC's personalized trip planner. It provides all options (bike, walk, transit, carpool, and car) in one screen, including costs, time, route maps, calories burned and CO2 emitted.
*Some of the transportation options are provided by third parties and not regulated by SMC. Some may involve you signing legal agreements. You should carefully review the agreements and ensure that the option you select is appropriate for you.
