Other Good Options

Carpooling
We encourage students, faculty, and staff to take advantage of UMass Boston’s partnership with MassRIDES, the Executive Office of Transportation’s statewide travel options program. MassRides provides free transportation assistance that can save money, save time, and improve your commute through personalized travel planning. They can help you establish a vanpool or carpool arrangement or find the best transit route to the campus. Call MassRIDES at 1.888.4.COMMUTE between 7:30am and 5:30pm to speak to a program representative (in English or Spanish), or visit www.commute.com.

The university provides two reserved spaces in the upper level of the Campus Center garage for MassRIDES participants.

Bicycle
UMass Boston is located conveniently on the Harborwalk, a biking and walking trail that connects communities along the waterfront. Bike racks will be availablefor individuals who choose this green mode of transportation.

Drop-Off
If you will be driven to campus, there are two drop-off locations: 1) the Quinn lower-level busway, and 2) the Campus Center main entrance.
