Transportation
Getting to and from campus couldn’t be easier! And it doesn’t get any cheaper than FREE! That’s right—with a valid UWL, WTC, or Viterbo Student I.D. card, students ride anywhere, anytime, on any MTU bus all over town!
The Safe Ride bus offers a safe and convenient ride between downtown and campus on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. There are bus stops on and off campus, around town and downtown, which are marked with a maroon and silver Safe Ride bus stop sign. The Safe Ride bus circulates along the route every 15 minutes! More frequently late on Friday and Saturday nights! UWL and Viterbo Students, friends, and the general public ride for free on the Safe Ride bus. No Student ID is required. The service is funded in part by student fees at UWL and Viterbo.
