On-Campus Parking
RCTC Location
You can also use RCTC’s parking meters and pay for however long you’ve been parked.
Or purchase a visitor permit to be able to park in any student, faculty, and staff lot or at the parking meters without having to pay each time you visit.
Broadway Building
You can also use the on-street parking meters and pay for however long you’ve been parked. (Pst! Park after 5pm and you won’t be charged.)
Public Transportation
Accessing the Rochester Public Transit bus system is super easy and convenient. WSU-R offers free bus passes that last about four months.
All you need to do is head over to the Student & Campus Services Office at RCTC and show your Warrior ID to pick up your own pass.
These bus passes are given out on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure to grab yours as soon as possible if you’re interested. Otherwise, you’ll need to pay a fare when you catch a ride.
Campus Security
We value your safety. That’s why we’ve partnered with RCTC Campus Security to offer services that’ll bring you extra comfort.
If you’d like someone to accompany you to your vehicle or a particular location on campus, call 507.280.5050 for a personal escort any time of day.
Or use one of our blue emergency poles located in the North, East, and West parking lots at the Heintz Center. If you need assistance, a Campus Security worker will immediately respond via intercom. You can also contact Rochester Law Enforcement by pushing the red button.
And come wintertime, you can also reach out to RCTC Campus Security to jump-start your vehicle for free with your Warrior ID.
These are all the little things we provide to make you feel even more welcome and safe on our campus.
