Service Learning Transportation
Several transportation options are available to service learning students. Please visit our Loyola Service Learning Map to see all service learning sites.
Many of Loyola's service learning agencies are within one mile of Loyola University. Green points on the Loyola Service Learning Map are within approximately a 30 minute walk from Loyola.
Many agencies are within biking distance of Loyola. Check out the yellow points on the Loyola Service Learning Map for some suggestions. If you do not have your own bike, the Office of Service Learning offers free daily bike use through our Cycloserve program.
New Orleans' public transportation system is a great way to reach many service learning destinations. The Office of Service Learning will provide free RTA tokens to any Loyola service learning student who wants to use streetcars or buses to get to a service learning site. Stop by Bobet 113 for free tokens and public transit maps. You may also visit the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (NORTA) website to learn more about this option.
Some agencies on the Loyola Service Learning Map are easiest to access by car. If you have access to a car and want to use it to get to your service learning site, the Office of Service Learning can offer prepaid gas cards as reimbursement. Stop by Bobet 113 to learn more.
The Loyola Service Learning Map shows all service learning agencies. If you would like to carpool with other service learners, please post a comment on the map (click on "comments") with your name, destination, days and times of travel, and contact information. Also please post whether you can GIVE a ride, or whether you NEED a ride. Next, check other students' comments to arrange rideshares. Service learning students who offer rides are eligible for prepaid gas cards as reimbursement.
In order to post comments, students will need to either sign in with a Google username and password or set up an account with Google.
