Getting to work

Commuting from Ashley Lofts

The reason to live in the middle of downtown is that the commute is often a walk. Here is where the work is, in miles, how the bus works, and how parking works.

On foot

City Hall is about half a mile and the Duval County Courthouse is under a mile. The office towers of the central business district are inside about a mile and a half, and Florida State College at Jacksonville's downtown campus is about a third of a mile. If you work downtown, most days you can walk.

By car and by bus

Interstate 95 is roughly a mile west, with Interstate 10 feeding into it, so the rest of the city and the hospitals on the Southbank are a straightforward drive. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority runs the regional bus network from the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center at LaVilla, about a mile west, which is also the Greyhound intercity stop.
