Pacific\u2019s campus is very bicycle friendly. There are bike racks outside of every dorm and most classroom buildings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New to Pacific and wondering how to get around in Stockton<\/a>? We\u2019ve got you covered! Here are all the ways you can travel to and from campus, with or without your own vehicle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive your own car (or carpool with friends!) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While you don\u2019t need your own vehicle to get around in Stockton, bringing a car (or motorcycle) to campus is a reliable way to quickly reach your destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you decide to bring a vehicle to campus (or if you\u2019re a commuter), you\u2019ll need to purchase a parking permit<\/a> for the school year. As a student, you can park in B or C lots depending on which permit you buy (look for the orange signs to know which lot you\u2019re in).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Pacific\u2019s suitability goals, our parking lots are covered by solar canopies<\/a>, which generate 30% of the energy needs for the Stockton campus. We also offer electric vehicle charging and preferred parking for carpool and low emission vehicles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking stalls located closer to buildings are only for permitted commuters who carpool or use a low emission vehicle (LEV). These parking stalls are marked by a Dibs and Low Emission Vehicle sign.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of carpooling, coordinating trips with other students in your residence hall to run errands together is a fun and sustainable option \u2014 and a nice way to make new friends! You can learn more about sustainable transportation options here.<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take public transportation <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have a car on campus and can\u2019t catch a ride with a friend, taking the bus is another cost-effective and sustainable option. There\u2019s a bus stop just across the street from campus on the corner of Knoles Way and Pacific Avenue, with a bus arriving every 15 minutes north and southbound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
