Groome Transportation

For in-state travel, Groome Transportation offers more than a dozen daily trips between Flagstaff and Phoenix. Groome Transportation has three pick-up and drop-off sites on campus: the Skydome, parking lot P31, south of the campus parking garage on San Francisco St, and University North, the bus stop at N. San Francisco St & E Franklin Ave.


Getting around 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.
