Shuttle & Van Service
Shuttles provide a key source of cross-campus transportation. Based on community feedback, augmented services will be available to connect Cambridge and Allston.
COVID-19 Update: Harvard University Transportation Services is operating at a reduced schedule in winter that combines fixed routes for shuttles along with on-demand van service. A summary of the winter schedule can be found on the Transportation & Parking website https://www.transportation.harvard.edu/shuttle-van-services/winter-shuttle-service (please note this is subject to change).
