Another concern is getting around Charlottesville without a car if you're not the primary driver. Luckily for you, you can ride any University Transit Service (UTS) and any Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) route FREE! The combined transit system will take you to virtually any area of grounds, and even out to popular shopping areas such as the Barracks Road Shopping Center, Rio Hill Shopping Center, Fashion Square Mall, and even Walmart. To make riding the transit systems even easier, both services have GPS bus arrival predictions to let you know how many minutes it will be before a bus arrives at a particular stop. CAT also makes it easy to plan your trip with their Google Transit feature.
Additionally, all U.Va faculty and staff over the age of 18 with a valid driver's license for at least one year may apply for membership with Zipcar. Zipcar offers six self-service fuel efficient vehicles available for reservation by the hour or by the day. All CAVPOOL members receive a special Zipcar driving credit!
