Transportation
Harvard Square is considered a highly walkable area, and we strongly recommend planning to walk to classes
and activities around Harvard Square when possible.
HARVARD SHUTTTLE
Each day, Shuttle Services transports thousands of students, faculty and staff across the University.
Major stops include: HiLab, Business School, Kennedy School of Government, Law School, Maxwell
Dworkin, Memorial Hall, The Quad, River Houses, Widener Gate, and Lamont Library. The M2 Shuttle
also offers transport to the Harvard Chan School of Public Health campus, located in the Longwood
Medical Area of Boston.
Shuttles are open to all members of the Harvard Community, including faculty, staff and students. From
its low-floor and lift-equipped buses to door-to-door paratransit van service, Harvard's entire system is
accessible for riders of all abilities.
Bus stops are marked with special crimson, red and white signs. If you wish to exit at a non-designated
stop, please inform the driver when boarding. Drivers will make requested stops whenever it is safe to do
so.
For real-time Shuttle information, view the Shuttle Tracker at https://harvard.transloc.com/ .The shuttle
tracker can also be accessed through the Harvard University mobile app.

BICYCLE
Many people in Cambridge choose to use a bicycle to get around. The Cambridge Community
Development Department offers safety tips and bike parking guidance at:
http://www.cambridgema.gov/home/CDD/Transportation/gettingaroundcambridge/bybike.aspx.
Hubway is a public bike share system in Boston, Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville offering options
of 24-hour, 72-hour, monthly, or annual passes. It allows you to pick up a bike at any station and return
your bike to any station. Additional information is available at: https://www.thehubway.com/.
PUBLIC TRANSIT
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), more commonly known as the T, is one of the oldest
public transit systems in the United States. It’s also the largest transit system in Massachusetts. The Red, Orange,
Blue, and Green subway lines provide fast, easy connections to and from Boston and surrounding cities,
including Cambridge, Newton, Revere, Quincy, and Dorchester.
You can obtain a blank reloadable fare pass, called a CharlieCard, from an MBTA Customer Service Agent at
several T stations including the Harvard Square station. MBTA Customer Service Agents are available every day
from 7am-7pm. Fare may be reloaded and single use tickets purchased at any time from a ticket machine in the
station.
CharlieCards also are available at a number of retail locations:
http://www.mbta.com/fares_and_passes/sales_locations/.
Additionally, you can ask an ALI staff member for a card (we have a small number of extra cards).
The MBTA Trip Planner is an available resource to help you identify the best route:
https://www.mbta.com/trip-planner.
There are also dozens of mobile phone apps to assist you with predicting train and bus times using real-
time data – one such app is the MBTA endorsed Transit App (https://transitapp.com/) which can be
downloaded for free on your mobile device.
