Would you ride the bus instead of driving to campus if parking were limited?

LSU's Office of Parking and Transportation has opened an indoor Park and Geaux mobility hub across from the vet school on River Road and Skip Bertman Dr. The facility was built to anticipate increased bus use as on-campus parking is slowly eliminated.

Why it matters

On-campus parking is being phased out as the campus grows, and LSU's master plan says the existing parking system is financially unsustainable. Building more parking would divert resources from more effective solutions, making transit hubs like this one central to getting students and staff around campus.

The hub is an indoor facility located at the center of multiple Park and Geaux lots, and students with any parking pass can use those lots. A full list of bus routes and stops is available on the Parking and Transportation services website and the TransLoc app.

The details

The mobility hub was built to accommodate growing bus ridership, and it sits across from the vet school on River Road and Skip Bertman Dr. Some students have complained on social media that bus wait times have repeatedly made them late to class, and complaints can be filed through the Tiger Trails accountability form or by scanning the QR code on buses.

Campus Context

LSU's master plan concludes the current parking system is financially unsustainable, leading the university to favor transit investments over new parking construction. The mobility hub follows that direction as on-campus parking is phased out with campus growth.

Students with any parking pass can use the Park and Geaux lots around the hub, which gives commuters a central place to connect to campus buses. Riders can check routes and stops on the Parking and Transportation services website or the TransLoc app before heading to class.

The takeaway

If you commute to LSU, check bus routes and stops on the Parking and Transportation services website or the TransLoc app before you leave, and use the Park and Geaux lots if you hold any parking pass. Share bus delays through the Tiger Trails form so transit planners can see where service needs to improve.
