Do you need a car to attend community college in Florida?
In Florida, 76% of community and technical colleges have a public transit stop within walking distance.
An additional 12% — or 25 campuses — are less than five miles from an existing transit line, but not yet connected.
Civic Mapping Initiative assessed the 206 campuses belonging to Florida’s community and technical colleges to determine proximity to public transit; our map does not include route or schedule information. Read more about our project and methodology.
Transit Stop Proximity to Community & Technical College Campuses in Florida
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 Florida.
