Smart Way Bus
The Smart Way is a commuter bus service that links the Roanoke Valley to the New River Valley, including Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Virginia Tech. Service begins in downtown Roanoke at Valley Metro's Campbell Court Transportation Center and ends at the Virginia Tech Squires Student Center. The route from the New River Valley to the Roanoke Valley is the exact reverse. Stops include the Park & Ride in Salem, the Park & Ride in Christiansburg, the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center, and more. The trip is free with a Hokie Passport for Virginia Tech students and faculty/staff. For all other passengers, the fare is $4 (cash, exact change).

Note: The SmartWay Bus will drop you off at the back of Squires Student Center (not the conference center), on the Virginia Tech campus, which is .50 to .75 miles from the conference center - a beautiful walk through the center of campus (map of walk). 

For more information regarding the Smart Way Bus, please visit the Smart Way website or call 800-388-7005 or 540-982-6622.
