Safety Transportation Program

Valet Park of America (VPA) operates a safety transportation program to help WPI community members get safely to and from Campus. This program is available to students and employees and is free-of-charge. VPA operates clearly marked seven passenger shuttle vans equipped with the latest technology and campus police radio communication. To access this safety program, you must download the TransLoc app to order the shuttle. The app allows users to enter their pick-up location, select a drop-off destination, and then request the safety transport. The app also provides real-time updates on the shuttle’s estimated arrival time to your pick-up location.

Valet Park of America operates all services using clearly marked passenger vans.

Changes to Valet Park service for Academic Year 23-24

There are several changes to VPA shuttle services for Academic year 23-24. The Price Chopper grocery store shuttle and the Gateway and South Village scheduled-stop shuttles have been discontinued.

Valet Park will provide two shuttle services:

a nighttime shuttle service, commonly referred to as SNAP and,
a daytime shuttle service, which will only operate during colder weeks.

Both of these Valet Park shuttle services will utilize “On Demand Shuttle Stops” which are strategically located across Campus, and at three off-campus locations. These locations are programmed into the TransLoc app and available for your selection. Either, or both of your “pick-up” or “drop off” location(s) must be from one of these “On Demand Shuttle Stop” locations; you will not be able to order the shuttle without choosing at least one of these locations.
