Transportation

Public transit

If you plan to take public transit to campus, please consult this website to plan your trip accordingly. The UW strongly encourages students to use public transportation. Your Husky Card will function as a bus pass. You can simply tap it on any bus, light rail, Sounder or water taxi/fast ferry to travel.
