Transportation

No car, no problem. UB offers plenty of ways to travel around campus using alternative transportation methods. Our system of convenient, free shuttles and buses make it easy to travel to or around any of our three campus centers.

The Bicycling at UB Committee, comprised of staff members from Sustainability, Campus Living, Parking & Transportation Services, Wellness, UBPD and Facilities represents the interest of bicyclists on campus. Our objectives are to improve the facilities (bike racks), infrastructure (shared roadways and bike lanes) and amenities (fix-it stands and winter storage for bicycles) for bicyclists on the North and South campuses, and in between. Cyclists welcome!

Electrifying the Fleet

Do you have an electric vehicle?

UB is proud to be partnering with National Grid and ChargePoint to offer electric vehicle owners three new locations to charge their vehicles. To better serve those with electric vehicles, we are collecting data on the types of vehicles that will be using the stations.

There are several ways to use the charging stations at no cost to you:

If you already have a ChargePoint card, use it here! 

If you do not have a Chargepoint card, you can:

  • Call the 1-800 number on the station. The customer service representative will open the station for you and then will offer to send you a free ChargePoint card in the mail.
  • Visit www.chargepoint.com and order a card. One will be sent to you.
  • Download the ChargePoint app and activate the app when at a charger.
  • There is a $1.50 an hour charge for using the ChargePoint station at UB.
  • In order to allow as many vehicles to charge as possible, vehicles should remain in each charge spot for no longer than 4 hours while charging.
  • All vehicles parked in a charge spot without being plugged in will be ticketed.
