Chico State Transportation
It’s quick and easy to get to and around the Chico State campus. Most housing is located within a mile of campus, which equates to about 25 minutes walking or 10 minutes riding. Within campus, it only takes about 10 minutes to walk from one side of campus to the other. Plus, there are bike paths for bikes, skateboards, and scooters as well as bus and shuttle options that go between your dorm and main campus.
How do Wildcats roll?
Every year, Chico State’s Annual Transportation Survey asks students, staff, and faculty how they get to campus. This year’s results show that 70% of the campus community lives within 5 miles—close enough to bike, walk, or bus instead of battling for parking. But parking is still tough, especially later in the day, and only 18% of respondents use the free B-Line bus pass even though it’s available to everyone. Awareness of other perks, like Amtrak student discounts, is also surprisingly low.
The campus community also called for safer bike routes, better lighting, and more secure parking for bikes, boards, and scooters. Your feedback helps shape future projects that help everyone get to campus more easily and sustainably.
