How to get to the Sept. 21 Anti-Pipeline Rally:
We want to encourage alternative transportation at all times but, since this rally takes place on a UGA home game day, traffic & parking will be extremely difficult. If you don’t live close enough to conveniently walk or ride a bike to the rally, we suggest you take a bus. If you must drive, please carpool.
- Athens Transit routes 5 stops on campus in front of Park Hall. From here it is about a 20 min walk along Sanford Drive through East Campus to Green St. where one can access the rally site. For info, visit: http://athenstransit.com/routes-and-fares/routes-by-number/route-5/&slot=sat&schtp=3
- Free parking is available at several locations on South and East Campuses within a short walk of the rally site. Be aware that competition for these parking spots on a game day will be fierce. To view a map of parking areas on UGA campus, visit: http://www.ugaparkingmap.com/?rel=1
