Transportation Options for Western Michigan University

Off-Campus
           

Metro Transit has an agreement with Western Michigan University to provide free transportation to people with Bronco identification cards.  The community transportation busses have a primary stop by Everett Tower on the west end of main campus.  Many of the busses are handi-capped accessible, but it would be a good idea to verify or request an accessible bus prior to departure.  Community busses have routes to the Parkview campus, downtown, and several local shopping areas.  Bus routes are available on-line at www.kmetro.com.

Other transportation
      

Metro Transit also has a community van for people with disabilities who cannot use the fixed-route service.  All aspects of Metro van must be handled directly by Metro Transit.  Disabled Student Resources and Serves cannot authorize anyone to use this service.

            Care-a-van is a county wide transportation system which is available to all persons with disabilities.  There is no application process required.  Persons with disabilities must contact Care-a-van 1 day prior to the ride date.  There is a $3.35 fee each way, and rides may be scheduled between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.  Please check the Web site at www.kalamazoocity.org/portal/metro.php and click the care-a-van link found on the right side of the page.
