How To Get Around FoCo
ZIPCAR
Zipcar is a 24/7 rental car service in which you pay an hourly or daily fee to use a car, including gas, insurance and maintenance. The fee allows members access to the multiple Zipcars on campus. This is a great option if you are without a car, but want flexibility and access to one. To use Zipcar, students should register as a Zipcar member.

TRANSFORT
Thanks to ASCSU student fee allocation, CSU students have access to the Transfort bus system with their RamCard. There are 20 different bus routes that run anywhere from Old Town to City Park to even Boulder and Longmont. The buses run from around 6 a.m. to about 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with many routes stopping at the CSU Transit Center at the Lory Student Center.
MAX BUS
Fort Collins’ seven-mile rapid transit system runs up and down the Mason Street corridor between the Downtown Transit Center in Old Town and the South Transit Center just past Harmony. MAX links with other Transfort bus routes, bike/pedestrian trail systems, and other regional routes to provide effortless transportation for Fort Collins residents. For CSU students, the MAX location closest to the heart of campus is at the University Street Station.
BIKING
Fort Collins is a major biking city, and you can get just about anywhere on or off campus with a bike. If public transportation is not for you, invest in a bike, as it can help you get to class and beyond. Not to mention, it’s very eco-friendly, something Fort Collins is known for. Make sure you register your bike with the CSU Police Department ($10) as soon as possible. police.colostate.edu
AROUND THE HORN
Around the Horn is CSU’s free cross-campus shuttle service. Northbound and Southbound shuttles run every ten minutes, making ten stops each at select points around campus.
