Hi! I'm Jared Ward, I'm a psychology, sociology, and communication here at UMass Boston, and I'm going to show you how to get to and around campus, whether you're taking public transportation, driving, biking, or walking. Our campus is growing as part of our 25-year master plan so if you're driving to campus, we encourage you to leave extra time for possible construction delays. When school is in session, we encourage you to drive directly to our Bayside Parking Lot. With plenty of parking spaces available, you won't waste time for a parking spot. If you're coming from the south, take Eye-93 North to Exit 14: Morrissey Boulevard -- JFK Library. The campus will be on your right. Go past the campus entrance and past BC High. Take a right at the first intersection you come to, which is Mount Vernon Street. After you take a right onto Mount Vernon Street, the UMass Boston Bayside parking lot will be on your left, just past the DoubleTree hotel. If you're coming from the north, take Eye-93 South to Exit 15: Columbia Road -- JFK Library. Take a left at the bottom of the exit ramp. You'll past the JFK -- UMass subway stop on your right. Go into the rotary and take your second right onto Day Boulevard. Now, take the next left, onto Mount Vernon Street. The UMass Boston Bayside Lot will be on your left, past the DoubleTree hotel. Go through the gate, park your car, and either get on the shuttle bus, or walk to campus. It takes about 10 or 15 minutes to walk to the Campus Center. The bus ride takes about five minutes. The buses run every five to seven minutes weekdays from 6-30 a-m to 10-30 p-m. You can track the buses online or via the downloadable app. Look for the Route 3 buses. You can get off at Lot C, across from the softball field, or you can take the bus to the Campus Center. If you need to get off at Lot C, just let your driver know. When you're ready to go back to the UMass Boston Bayside Lot, look for the Route 3 shuttle bus outside the Campus Center. You can also get on the bus at the rotary adjacent to the Clark Athletic Center. Again, look for the Route 3 shuttle bus. The UMass Boston Bayside Lot closes at 11 p.m. As you leave the lot, pay with cash, or, save money and use a prepaid parking pass. You can get them from the Office of Transportation Services, located on the second floor of the Quinn Administration Building, or at the UMass Boston Bookstore, which is located on the same level of the bus drop-off, in the Campus Center. Some of the main campus lots are only for people with pre-paid parking passes. You'll see those lots as you pass our soccer field and track. If you're taking the subway, take the MBTA's red line to the JFK -- UMass station. You can also take the Old Colony commuter rail to the JFK -- UMass station. Once you get off at the train platform, go up the stairs, out the turnstiles, and then down either the stairs or ramp to the waiting shuttle buses. Get on any Crystal Transport bus and take the five minute ride to campus. The bus will drop you in front of the Campus Center. This is where you'll need to go to get back to the JFK -- UMass station. Take either the Route 1 or the Route 2 shuttle bus from the Campus Center. The Route 2 shuttle also stops at the JFK Library and Presidential Museum. The Route 1 shuttle does not run on the weekends. You can also take the Route 8 M-B-T-A bus or the Route 16 M-B-T-A bus. We also have bike racks for those biking to campus, and during the spring, summer, and fall months, you can rent a bike through the Hubway share program. There are kiosks across from the Campus Center and at the JFK -- UMass station. For bus schedules, a downloadable map, and an interactive map, visit our website, at w-w-w- u-m-b dot --e-d-u.
