Getting Around Platteville as a Student
Here's what you need to know about getting around Platteville.
Public Transit
Platteville does not operate a public bus system, so students rely primarily on personal transportation or walking to get around. There are no intercity bus routes serving Platteville on a daily basis, making a car the most practical option for travel outside the city. Students without cars should plan housing near campus to minimize daily travel distances.
Walking and Biking
Walking is the most common way for students to get between campus and nearby off-campus housing in Platteville. The city's flat to gently rolling terrain and short block distances make biking a practical option for most of the academic year. A bike is especially useful for reaching the grocery store, downtown, and other amenities just outside the immediate campus zone.
Parking
Parking is generally ample and affordable in Platteville compared to larger college cities, with street parking and off-street lots available throughout most student neighborhoods. Most rental properties near campus include one or more parking spaces, and the university operates student parking lots at reasonable annual rates. Students with cars should confirm parking availability with landlords before signing a lease, particularly for older rental homes near the campus core.
