Classroom Locations
Classroom locations will be posted on the Registrar's website approximately one week before classes begin.

Tiger Transit Shuttle Service
Tiger Transit is the shuttle bus service that circulates the Princeton University campus. You may get on and off the buses at will and there is no need for identification or payment. All Tiger Transit buses have kneeling capability to assist those with mobility issues. The West/East Parking Shuttle to campus departs from the bus shelter and travels in a clockwise loop beginning and ending at Lot 21. It makes stops at Jadwin Hall, Lewis Library, Robertson Hall, Friend Center, Fisher Hall, Frist/Guyot, Icahn Lab and Lot 21 every twenty to thirty minutes. The shuttle may be tracked in real time.
Parking
As of January 2019 we will no longer be offering parking permits. Vehicles in Lot 21 without a valid Princeton University parking permit risk receiving a $50 parking citation.
There are numerous parking options within walking distance of campus. In addition to metered on-street parking, there are parking garages located on Chambers, Hulfish and Spring Streets. There is an application for metered parking payment in the town of Princeton called Park Princeton. If you are interested you may download it from the App Store on your smart phone.
