Student Night Assistance Patrol (SNAP)
We encourage students to use WPI's Student Night Assistance Patrol (SNAP) vans for transportation at night and on weekends.
Valet Park of America operates SNAP using clearly marked passenger vans. When boarding, riders must present their WPI ID.
Hours of Operation
- August 22nd – November 6th - 6PM-3AM

New this year, passengers must use the free TransLoc app to book rides on SNAP. The app is available during the academic year and allows users to enter their location, select a destination, and request a ride. The app also provides real-time updates on the SNAP van estimated arrival time. Download the TransLoc app here.
