By bus

Rent a Car or Limousine in Stillwater (Oklahoma)

Stillwater is also easily navigated by car, and the city has several vehicle rental agencies. Highway 51 (6th Street) provides Stillwater's main crosstown East-West route, and US-177 (Perkins Rd.) serves as the main North-South route. Both offer quick travel from one end of the city to the other.

On foot

Stillwater is fairly pedestrian-friendly, especially near downtown and around campus, but lacks in handicap accessibility in the residential areas. The city is small enough to reach most places by foot, however increasing sprawl is making it less and less of a viable option.

Stillwater has two bicycle shops in town, District Bicycles and Cooper's Bicycle Center. View city bicycle route map
