Transportation

TARC

The Transit Authority of River City (TARC) is the only public transit system in the Louisville metro area. With a fleet of 227 buses, 33 of which are hybrid-electric and 15 that are all-electric, an average of 4.8 million individuals ride TARC annually, traveling 6.57 million miles a year. TARC’s ADA paratransit services perform an average of 312,000 trips this past year. The TARC is a great way to get to and from campus, visit the Routes and Schedules page to plan your route.

Bellarmine students who have transportation needs are able to request and check out a TARC card for the semester/year. These cards have no expiration date and are regularly checked and refilled when the card balance gets low. Students may email communityengagement@bellarmine.edu to request a TARC card, coordinate pick up, and check card balance. 

Bellarmine Shuttle

The shuttle service provides transportation for students, faculty, and staff, around campus, across Newburg Road to Allen Hall at 2010 Newburg Road and when requested to the Flynn Building located at 1961 Bishop Lane. The shuttle picks up passengers at Franciscan Circle located between Pasteur Hall and Centro Hall, right off the Quad, on a regular basis. A second shuttle transports passengers from Franciscan Circle to parking lot L1 located behind the Surf Center. Visit the Shuttle Bus Transportation page for campus shuttle hours, and how to access the Ride System App for real time shuttle tracking.
