How to Get Here
From Tucson International Airport
Tucson International Airport is located south of the city about
8 miles from the University.
By Shuttle
The Arizona Stagecoach
shuttle service is located in the baggage claim
area at the airport. They will drop you at any location you wish, but
make regular stops to area hotels and the university. It costs
about $15 to get to campus.
By Bus
There are multiple public SunTran
routes that serve the airport, which in turn connect up with multiple
routes that serve the university. When you exit the airport's baggage
claim area in the daytime, you will often see one or two buses waiting.
(Service is intermittent or unavailable at night and on weekends.
Check the website for current schedules.)
Ask the drivers for the best way to get to campus at
that moment. The fare is $1 and it takes approximately an hour to
reach campus.
