Access to RFS via UC-RFS Shuttle Bus
You can catch the RFS shuttle bus at the Heart Mining Circle by Evans Hall. The shuttle schedule (the purple RFS icon, last on the list) is very accurate and each one-way trip costs $1.50 - exact change only. When returning to campus, the RFS shuttle stop is located by the front gate at RFS. Please note that the 5:00PM shuttle departing from RFS is the last shuttle that will make a stop at the Heart Mining Circle on campus.


Once you arrive at RFS, the map below will help guide you to our buildings (in blue). You must purchase a parking permit at the main gate entrance for 50¢. The permit is good for one-day parking at RFS. We hope to see you soon!
