Navigate Campus with Ease
We are an urban university with a large percentage of commuter students. Our students bike, ride share and ride city transportation to attend classes. On-campus, we have multiple places to leave your vehicle, whether you're quickly stopping by to drop off a paper or hunkering down for a marathon study session.
Getting to Campus
Campus Shuttle
The UMKC shuttle bus gets you where you need to go around the Volker and Hospital Hill campuses.
Rideshare
UMKC employees who are seeking a less expensive, environmentally-friendly alternative to commuting to work every day can sign up for ride sharing.
Bicycle
It's easy to get around campus by bike.
