For more information on the other methods of transportation, please visit the Office of Student Activities Transportation webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How much does it cost?<\/h3>\n

Because the ACE office has limited funds each year to assist with transportation, faculty and students are encouraged whenever possible to use free and low-cost methods of transportation (walking, biking, Oles Go, Hiawathaland, etc). Yet we understand that these options may pose barriers due to timing and that other, more expensive options may pose a barrier due to the financial implications. If the financial aspect of transportation poses a barrier for students to successfully complete their ACE project, please reach out to the ACE office<\/a> to discuss further.<\/p>\n
