Take the Long Island Rail Road to CollegeThink Smart!

Take the Train to Long Island's Colleges and Universities
If you are traveling to one of Long Island's fine universities or colleges, why not take the train? The Long Island Rail Road provides frequent service with convenient bus or taxi connections from many of our stations. It's also the greenest way to go because when you take the train instead of your car you help protect the environment by keeping tons of pollutants out of the atmosphere.

Schedule Information
LIRR Schedule & Fare information is available on our website or by calling the LIRR Travel Information Center at 718-217-5477.

Tickets
One way and round-trip tickets are sold at station ticket offices, online or through our convenient ticket machines. For substantial savings, purchase off-peak ten trip, weekly and monthly tickets.
