Getting Around

Stony Brook commuter students make up nearly 50% of our campus population. With that said, not all commuters arrive to campus via the same mode of transportation. Some drive a personal vehicle, others walk or ride bikes, and plenty of commuter students utilize public transportation services.

• Long Island Rail Road

  Visit the  Long Island Rail Road  website to map out, schedule and calculate the fare of your trip.

  Tips & Tricks

  • Transferring at Jamaica:
    • Due to the nature of some train lines, you may have to transfer trains at Jamaica station to reroute to your destination
    • You will receive a notice when using the online Trip Planner and will be indicated with a   J  on timetable brochures
    • When your train arrives at Jamaica, the train you must transfer to is almost always immediately across the tracks
    • Look for the marquees on the sides of the train to make sure that it is going to the right destination
    • You will have ~2 minutes to transfer. In the event that your transfer is not across the platform, listen carefully to hear which track your train is located on
    • If you are unsure of which train to transfer to or where the track is located, ask a conductor or employee
