Whether you walk, drive, or take public transportation, you’ll find our college location convenient for commuters and residents.

Maria College is located at 700 New Scotland Avenue, and is easily accessible by public transportation. The Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) stops in front of campus, and for those who prefer to drive, the college provides a large parking lot behind the Main Building and Marian Hall.

Taking the Bus
Maria College has partnered with the Capital District Transit Authority (CDTA) to provide free bus transportation for our students. Over 60 bus routes are included in this partnership, and the area served includes Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Rensselaer, and Saratoga counties. In order to ride the CDTA buses for free you will need to be able to swipe your current student ID when you board the bus, so make sure you keep your current student ID handy! A complete listing of CDTA schedules and routes is available on their website at www.cdta.org. A number of their current schedules are also available near the entrances to Marian Hall and the Main Building.

Parking on Campus

Maria Students who plan on parking their car on campus are required to obtain an annual parking pass. These are available at the Security desk in the Main Building. In order to be issued a parking pass you will need to present your current student ID along with the auto license plate number.

There are certain times during the week when the parking lot fills quickly, so parking in the main lot cannot be guaranteed. Overflow parking for students is available in the parking lot of the Bethany Reformed Church at 760 New Scotland Avenue.
