Transportation
Flagstaff and the university offer a number of transportation options for getting to campus and getting around campus once you’re here.
Conveniently located at the junction of two interstate highways, I-40 and I-17, Flagstaff has an airport and is served by interstate bus and train service and an in-state shuttle.
American Airlines offers several flights daily between Flagstaff (FLG) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), where travelers can connect with other airlines. Air travelers can book a local taxi for the short trip from the airport to campus.
Amtrak offers daily train service through Flagstaff on the Southwest Chief line, which travels through scenic landscapes and dramatic canyons.
For in-state travel, Groome Transportation offers more than a dozen daily trips between Flagstaff and Phoenix. The NAU location for pick-up and drop-off is at the Health and Learning Center (HLC) on the north end of campus.
NAU’s Flagstaff campus offers pedestrian-friendly paths, walkways, and trails for exploring, but sometimes even a Lumberjack’s fleet foot isn’t the best way to get from point A to point B. Choose from among several free or low-cost options for traversing the two-mile-long campus.
Flagstaff’s Mountain Line bus service offers a high-frequency bus route serving NAU, downtown Flagstaff, and the Woodlands Village corridor. NAU students can show their JacksCard ID to ride the Mountain Line for free. University employees can ride all Mountain Line routes at no charge. Simply download the NAUgo app to your phone from either the App Store on iPhones or Google Play on androids to access your free ecoPASS. Alternately, employees may pick up a pass from NAU’s University Transit Services office.
The university’s Yellow Bike Program offers free bike rentals for up to seven days for students, staff, and faculty.
