Transportation

At NC State, you are eligible for a parking pass beginning your freshman year. Registration for parking permits takes place at the same time as class registration. With such a limited number of parking spaces on NCSU’s campus, it is important to remember that Campus Transportation takes many things into consideration when assigning permits. These include things like seniority (identification of the student as a freshmen, sophomore, junior, or senior), demographics of the student’s residence on campus, and whether or not the student is an off-campus commuter. With all these things considered, there are still many freshman who are awarded a parking permit their first year. These permits may be close to the student’s residence hall or more commonly, they may be in a storage lot. In addition to on-campus parking, NCSU offers Wolfline buses which run every day that classes are in session and serve all three campuses of NCSU, two park and ride lots, and all official NCSU housing. You can typically expect Wolfline buses to arrive at their designated stops every 15 minutes and they can get you to almost anywhere you would like to go on campus! The Wolfline also doubles as the Werewolf for night-time transportation and as the Red Terror Transit on game-day so that you can get to the stadium on time! In addition to car and/or Wolfline travel, many students choose to ride their motorcycles, bikes, or even skateboards to and around campus. I’ve found that NCSU is welcoming of almost any transportation you may consider as long as long as there is somewhere for you to park!
