Navigating the Academy of Art University's Shuttle Service

The Academy of Art University provides an excellent shuttle service that is free of charge to all students and staff members! The shuttles are a convenient and easy means by which to travel between the various academic and residential buildings at AAU. Shuttle stops are located either at or within easy walking distance of all the university's buildings...after riding the shuttles a few times, you'll get the hang of it in no time!
The shuttle schedule can be found by going to the following website: AAU Shuttle Schedule

Once you click on the link, you will find that there are two drop down menus. The drop down menu on the left side of the screen is where you select your departure point, while the drop down menu on the right side of the screen indicates your desired destination. Once you have selected your two desired locations within the two drop down menus, you simply click go and the shuttle schedule between the two chosen shuttle stops will be displayed. Once the schedule has been displayed, you'll easily be able to determine the pick-up time, the drop off time, and which specific shuttle you will need to board to get to where you want to go!!

Also, to help you orient yourself with the Academy of Art University's urban campus, check out the following two versions (interactive and printable) of the campus map:

Getting around AAU's campus and the city of San Francisco may seem daunting at first, but do know that students are able to aquaint and acclimate themselves rather quickly! And of course, all members of the Housing staff are here to help YOU, so please never hesitate to ask a Resident Assistant or Resident Director about how to find a shuttle stop and how to navigate the shuttle service if you ever have a question!!

Can't wait to see you all soon riding those shuttles!
