Getting Around

Duke University is committed to an accessible campus for students, staff and visitors.  Click on the link below for information on getting around Duke’s Campus as well as travel options in the immediate vicinity. Also provided is a listing of area locations for wheelchair rental or purchase.

Please note:  All on-campus tours and information sessions have been canceled through early May. The Karsh Alumni & Visitors Center is also closed throughout this time as well which means that if visitors decide to come to campus on their own, the usual set of accommodation services from the center will not be available.
