Bus Transportation
William & Mary has an ongoing contract with Williamsburg Area Transit Authority (WATA) to provide bus services for William & Mary students, faculty, and staff.
The campus bus system is designated the Green Line. It provides a bus dedicated to daily transportation throughout campus seven days a week. The Green Line also provides a connection with other lines (Red, Blue, and Trolley) in the greater Williamsburg area through buses on a circuit loop, every 30 minutes.
For the campus bus line information see the Green Line Schedule, or view the complete WATA Bus Line Schedule for Williamsburg-wide transportation.
Parking
Due to high traffic volume during Traditions Weekend, there is limited 15-minute temporary and handicap parking near the Alumni House to accommodate registration. Additional information on parking for each event will be provided to registrants in their check-in information.
