Michigan Tech is located in Houghton, Michigan—a small college town in the heart of the Keweenaw Peninsula on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Our campus, ranked among the safest in the US, is situated just miles from Lake Superior and provides year-round opportunities for outdoor adventure.
Up here, Huskies find their stride. They create the future by day and watch the northern lights with friends by night. Trust us—you’ll never be bored. Whatever your thing is, you’ll find your people and do it together.
You don’t need your own vehicle in order to explore our campus and community. There are several transportation options available at Tech.
During the fall and spring semesters, Michigan Tech’s Transportation Services provides shuttle service around campus and throughout downtown Houghton.
The Houghton Public Transit bus system offers several services to residents and visitors, including the Downtowner Route, the City Commuter Shuttle Route, and on-demand weekday bus services. Hancock's City Transit system also offers on-demand weekday bus services.
Lyft is an on-demand private transportation service that connects you with local drivers. Download the Lyft app on your smartphone to learn more and see fare estimates.
Indian Trails operates routes throughout Michigan and to or from Chicago, Duluth, and Milwaukee. Daily runs connect directly to both the Amtrak and Greyhound national networks, providing access to additional routes across the US and Canada.
All flights to and from Houghton County Memorial Airport (CMX) connect through Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD).
If you do choose to have a vehicle on campus, you’ll need to purchase a parking permit and register your vehicle with Michigan Tech’s Transportation Services.
