Transportation Assistance

All public transportation options in the Harvard area are ADA accessible, including the MBTA.

Harvard shuttle buses have routes to and from residential locations. Students who require close-proximity transportation due to a disability or temporary injury that makes it difficult to use the regular shuttle busses may request access to the Daytime Van Service by contacting DAO. Daytime Van Service is a paratransit service provided as a courtesy by the University, and there are defined service boundaries. Students who need access to locations beyond the service boundaries should explore accessible options through the MBTA.
