Getting To & From

Rochester Airport

Alfred University arranges shuttle service for students to get to and from the Rochester airport on dates that coincide with academic recesses. See Area Transportation.

Students should check the shuttle schedule before making flight reservations lest they end up without transportation to and from the airport! It’s important to note that the University operates the shuttle only on designated vacations or breaks.

If deciding not to use a shuttle service, Luxury Limos can provide a car service to our students from the Rochester airport.

Buffalo, New York City and Cleveland Airports

Buses are available from these airports to Alfred, via taxi or other ground transportation.

If deciding not to use a shuttle service, Luxury Limos can provide a car service to our students from the Buffalo airport.

In NYC, information about ground transportation from bus terminals to airports can be found at the NYC Port Authority website.

In Cleveland, a subway runs near the bus station to the airport from Cleveland’s Terminal Tower, which is within walking distance (4-5 blocks) from the bus station.

Buses run from the Alfred area to virtually anywhere in the U.S. Local buses maintain good schedules, however, schedules are subject to change, so it’s always good to call ahead. The Alfred Travel Center, a private travel agency in town, sells tickets for the Shortline/Trailways and Greyhound buses. Call 607-587-8842, or email Alfred Travel Info.
