Sustainable Transportation
In addition to promoting a walkable campus, we seek to minimize the use of vehicles through bike, bus, and ride-share programs.
Butler University is proud to partner with Indianapolis Cultural Trail, Inc. to bring Indiana Pacers Bikeshare to our campus and the greater Butler-Tarkington and Midtown communities. Through this partnership, Butler students, faculty, and staff with an active Butler email are eligible to ride free.
Students can also register their personal bikes for free with the Butler University Police Department for added security. There are nearly 100 bike racks spread out around campus for convenience. Through the Central Canal Towpath, campus is linked to Indianapolis’ two most frequented bicycle and pedestrian trails: the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and the Monon Trail.
Butler’s partnership with Uber, an on-demand private driving app, offers a safe, alternative transportation option to and from campus. Student Government Association (SGA) provides full transportation coverage from campus to local hospitals, urgent care centers, and the Indianapolis Airport and discounted rates to IUPUI, Glendale Target, and Saraga International Grocery.
For public transportation, two IndyGo bus routes (18 & 28) were also modified to serve the Butler Campus directly with convenient stops along Sunset Avenue. IndyGo S-passes (1 month) are available in the Student Involvement and Leadership Office for $30.
