Getting to and Around Campus

Thousands of people visit Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) each day to work, learn, and receive high-quality health care. As part of our efforts to reduce traffic congestion and emissions, we encourage all visitors and Columbia University affiliates to use a car-free travel option as often as possible for their trips to and from the campus. Columbia affiliates are asked to familiarize themselves with the commute and the free shuttle bus services that are listed on the Columbia Transportation website 

A valid CUIMC or NYP identification is required to enter many of our spaces; some areas have even more restricted access. Students and employees should be sure to carry identification at all times. Learn about ID cards and to access the Public Safety website. Learn about ID cards and access on the Public Safety website.
