Express Bus - Dartmouth to New Bedford
NEW!
Campus and downtown New Bedford now linked by express bus
Provides shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities for students.
The Division of Student Affairs, in collaboration with the City of New Bedford,
has launched a pilot express bus loop from the main campus to the Star Store
arts campus in downtown New Bedford. Service begins Monday, January 28. This
service is free to all UMass Dartmouth members who have the UMass Pass ID.
The Loop includes hourly express runs between the Campus Center and the Star
Store. Monday through Thursday, the first pick-up will be 7:35 a.m. at the Star
Store and the last drop-off will be 9:50 at the Campus Center (outside the bookstore/UMass
Pass entrance). There will be extended evening hours on Friday and Saturday
nights and a modified Sunday schedule.
In addition to providing shuttle service to students, faculty and staff for
Star Store classes, the shuttle can also used to explore the culture, couture,
and cuisine of downtown New Bedford; and to access community service and intern
opportunities.
This pilot project is made possible through a collaboration with the City of
New Bedford and a financial contribution from the College of Visual and Performing
Arts.
The University is also piloting a second shuttle, the SMAST Loop, beginning
this Monday the 28th, that will provide five runs a day from SMAST in New Bedford
to our Fairhaven site.
