UVM and the City of Burlington offer many alternative modes of transportation. Many students who bring cars to campus discover that it is easier to get around without their car, which ends up spending most of the time parked. Below are some of the many resources available to UVM Students:

On and off campus buses
When going shopping, or to destinations that are too far to bike or walk, many students ride UVM CATS Shuttles and/or Green Mountain Transit's (GMT) Unlimited Access which offers extensive service coverage throughout the UVM campus and within/around the City of Burlington and State of Vermont. GMT is free for UVM students with their CAT Card. There is also a convenient online bus tracker (CATS Shuttle Tracker) to help your student plan their rides.
Getting you to and from home
To aid in getting to and from Burlington International Airport, Amtrak (Essex Junction) and Burlington Transit Center during breaks we offer shuttles. If traveling during non-break times, the Green Mountain Transit Bus #1 will take you to the airport, the Bus #2 will take you to Amtrak, and the Bus # 1, #2, & #11 will take you to the downtown transit center. Students have many transportation options to get them to and from home. See the Long Distance Travel page for more information.
