WPI’s Gateway Shuttle, SNAP, and Price Chopper Shuttle programs provide complimentary transportation to help our community get to and from the main campus, Gateway Park, nearby residences, Union Station, two pharmacies, and a supermarket.
Valet Park of America operates all services using clearly marked passenger vans. Some seats will be blocked off to promote social distancing, and passengers must wear face coverings. When boarding, riders must present their WPI ID and use the hand sanitizer that will be provided. Workers will frequently clean surfaces with a disinfectant.
Students, faculty, and staff may use the Gateway Shuttle. It travels a set route from 7:10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Signs are posted at the six stops:
The Gateway Shuttle does not operate on Thanksgiving.
Student Night Assistance Patrol (SNAP) offers students evening and weekend transportation within 1 mile of 100 Institute Road. New this year, passengers will book rides on SNAP using the TransLoc app, which can be accessed from the WPI app. SNAP does not operate on Thanksgiving and during winter and summer breaks.
On Wednesdays and Sundays, SNAP operates a Price Chopper Shuttle transporting students between campus and Price Chopper supermarket at 221-223 Park Avenue. The Price Chopper Shuttle makes seven stops:
All shuttle service times may be affected by pedestrian and vehicle traffic, volume of riders, inclement weather, and the loading and unloading of passengers. Vans are not equipped with wheelchair lifts. For accessible transportation, please call WPI Police at (508) 831-5433.
