Imagine RIT
Getting Around
As we get closer to the second Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival, this page will be updated with important parking and logistics information in addition to a festival map.
Where we are in New York State
The RIT campus is located in Rochester, New York. The third largest city in New York
State, Rochester is on Lake Ontario, about midway between Niagara Falls and Syracuse
and within easy driving distance to Toronto.
Rochester is served by Greyhound and Trailways bus lines and Amtrak as well as public bus and train lines. The Greater Rochester International Airport is served by most major airlines, including USAir, United, Delta, American, and others. RIT's main campus is five miles from both the airport and the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90), exit 46.
Taxis are available at the train and bus stations, as well as the airport. RIT is also a stop on Route 24 of the Regional Transit Service, the area's mass transit bus system.
