If you are living in Princeton then there are a few options to get out to Forrestal if you don't have a car, are feeling environmentally conscious, or just want a nice bike ride.

The Forrestal Campus and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are currently serviced with a dedicated daily route linking to the main Princeton University campus.  For map and schedule, please click on the following link:

Forrestal Campus Route and Schedule  

Possibly the most enjoyable way to get to Forrestal Campus - it's a pretty bike ride along the towpath (keep your eyes open for our pair of bald eagles!), not too hilly and you can generally avoid roads with a lot of traffic. DON'T try to bike along Route 1 - it's not safe and there's a good alternative. Also Mapleton road doesn't have any street lights so you'll definitely need bike lights after dark. Both GFDL and Sayre Hall (AOS) have bike racks and showers so there's no excuse!
