Transportation

It’s easy to get around in San Rafael and the San Francisco Bay Area!

Free Shuttle Bus

To and From School:  Our shuttle bus takes students to school every morning, and picks them up in the afternoon. 
ELS Students: It takes only about 5 minutes to ELS at Dominican University.  The shuttle bus brings you to school at about 8:00 in the morning, and picks you up at about 3:30 and 5:30 in the afternoon.
College of Marin Students: It takes about 15 minutes to the College of Marin Indian Valley Campus.  The shuttle bus brings you to school at about 8:45 in the morning, and picks you up at about 3:00 in the afternoon.

Go-Anywhere Transportation:  In the afternoons, we also offer free shuttle service according to student request (for example, to local stores, banks, and downtown areas). Just tell the driver where you want to go!

Bicycles

Bicycles are ideal to quickly and easily get to school, downtown and shopping. Bicycles are available for rent.

Bus

Public transportation is excellent in San Rafael and Marin County. Buses go very frequently within San Rafael, to San Francisco and to neighboring cities. There are two bus stops very near the Student Home™: one bus stop has express bus connections directly to San Francisco; the other bus stop has frequent local busses throughout the day to the Transit Center and to the neighborhood of Dominican University.

Visit Golden Gate Transit for more information, schedules and fares.

Ferry

The most beautiful and most interesting way of going to San Francisco is by ferry! Enjoy gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and San Francisco. The ride takes about 30 minutes from Larkspur (which can be easily reached by bus).

Visit Golden Gate Ferry for more information, schedules and fares.

Airports

There are two international airports nearby: San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK). Both can be easily reached by bus, shuttle bus or taxi within one hour. Marin Airporter goes to SFO every 30 minutes; the Airport Express goes to OAK every 2 hours.
