Important additional information on transportation options:
- Several taxi companies in Wooster are in flux. There are ride share services such as Swoop Express, Lyft and Uber. There is a way to access any point in Wooster or within 1 mile of Wooster city limits for $5 per ride (unless both points are within ¼ of a mile of a bus stop on the fixed route system. CFAES Wooster is ½ a mile from the nearest fixed route stop at campus' northwest corner). And the twice daily bus to Columbus and back (and once a day to/from Akron) now stops at the large new Marathon BellStores between the public library (a stop on the fixed route city bus) and the Wayne County Fairgrounds
