Transportation

Local Area Transportation

The primary mode of transportation for students living on the Mount Ida Campus is our Uber program, which provides travel to pre-approved locations, including the MBTA (public transportation), healthcare, retail locations, and university-approved internship sites. (Restrictions apply)

All students (both residents and commuters) are automatically enrolled at the beginning of the term.  If you have issues or questions, please contact Director of Business Operations kluoto [at] umass [dot] edu (Kris Luoto).
