Getting Here
Bike
Choose a "green" mode of transportation this year! Bike HoCo is partnering with GreenFest to provide a free bike corral for visitors and volunteers. The corral will be located in the putting green in front of the SET building. If the journey is too far to cycle, consider bringing your bike to an outlying parking lot and biking to the corral.
Bus
There are three RTA buses that serve the Howard Community College campus: 401, 404 and 414. Download the Transit app for real-time date.
Driving
Consider carpooling with other GreenFest attendees! Parking is available throughout the HCC Campus. For driving directions, please visit the college's website.
