Do you need a car to attend community college in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, 65% of community and technical colleges have a public transit stop within walking distance.
An additional 22% — or 26 campuses — are less than five miles from an existing transit line, but not yet connected.
Civic Mapping Initiative assessed the 118 campuses belonging to Pennsylvania’s community and technical colleges to determine proximity to public transit.; our map does not include schedules or route information. Read more about our project and methodology.
Why is transit accessibility critical
for community college students?
Working students,
parenting students, and
students from low-income households are
overrepresented at community and technical colleges.
These students must manage “time poverty,” as they juggle family, work, and school commitments.
Statistics reflect national data from NCES and the College Board. Specific estimates for this state are not available.
Our Community & Technical College Transit Map displays all applicable campus locations in Pennsylvania.
