 | Biking ι Walking ι Mass Transit ι Driving Getting Around
Transportation options in a vibrant city like New Orleans are varied. Whether you prefer to drive, bike, ride, or walk, the following are recommendations for each. | Biking | |  | The sleepy streets leading into downtown encourage many of our students and faculty to ride their bikes to school, even though there are no bike lanes in the city. The Tidewater building houses a bike room, where you may lock up and store your bike during the day. You'll need to register in the admissions office as a bike room user when you arrive to gain access to its key card entry system. For bike maintenance or purchases, try GNO Cyclery in Uptown or Bicycle Michael's and Plan B in the Marigny. | | Walking | |  | Many students and faculty walk to the Tidewater Building from their homes in the French Quarter or other neighborhoods, especially during the spring and autumn months when New Orleans weather is near perfect. As with most cities, please take urban precautions; always know your surroundings. | | Mass Transit | |  | Tulane Uptown/Downtown Shuttle
Twice an hour, a chartered coach operated by Tulane makes its way among two sites on the Uptown campus, Tidewater, the Medical School, and one stop on St. Charles Avenue. For a schedule of stops, click here. Streetcar and Bus
Students in Deming and off-campus alike find the streetcars and buses operated by the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority easy and comfortable. For a complete listing of routes and schedules, visit the NORTA website. | | Driving | |  | Many local jokes post-Katrina play on the size of the pot-holes that litter our streets and the ostentatiously missing street signs. Most New Orleaneans do drive, however, and you may want to drive, as well. Click here for driving directions. Please note that parking around Tidewater can add up. Monthly contracted lots and daily pay lots are pricey, parking regulations are fiercely enforced, and functioning meters cannot always be found. |
