Parking on campus is limited and can be expensive if ISU Parking Division catches you after the meter runs out. Luckily, CyRide is here to save you money and hassle.

CyRide is the citywide bus service available free of charge on a day-to-day basis for ISU students, and can get students anywhere on campus or around town. It is partially funded by student fees.
