The easiest approach is from Thruway Exit 45, which is marked “Rochester-490.”
From that point, take I-490 for about 10 minutes to Exit 25, Fairport Road/NY 31F.
Turn left onto Rt31F going west and proceed to the main entrance of campus.
The main entrance of the College is one-half mile from I-490, at a traffic light where Fairport Road meets East Avenue (Route 96).
