Free Rides for Students on Bay Transit
Bay Transit offers free rides to and from RCC campuses for students. Service availability varies by county and not all routes operate in every area or at all times. Current service extends to Essex, Gloucester, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northumberland, Richmond, Westmoreland, and Charles City. Please check with Bay Transit on route details to confirm pick-up and drop-off availability in your county.
To arrange for a ride:
- Call the Bay Transit ride line at 877-869-6046 at least 24 hours before you need a ride.
- Identify yourself as an RCC student. If you need transportation to or from RCC on a regular basis, Bay Transit can set you up with a “standing order” to ensure you have a ride.
- Bay Transit can pick you up from home, work, or an RCC campus.
- Be at the designated pick-up point at least five minutes prior to your scheduled time.
- Show your valid RCC student ID to the driver as you board the bus. Relax and enjoy the free ride on Bay Transit!
Important: If you need to cancel a ride, please let Bay Transit know as soon as possible. Not canceling your ride in advance may be considered a “no show.” Three “no shows” or five same-day cancellations may result in suspension of riding privileges.
The RCC Educational Foundation subsidizes the free fare program for RCC students.
