A car is necessary for getting around Springdale and Northwest Arkansas generally. The cities in the corridor — Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, Bentonville — are spread across a wide area and public transport between them is minimal. Uber and Lyft operate throughout the region.
The Razorback Regional Greenway is the one practical car-free option: the 36-mile paved trail connects all four cities and is the fastest way to travel between downtown areas if you are on a bike. Bike rentals are available from shops along the route. For driving, parking is easy and free almost everywhere in Springdale outside the immediate downtown.
