The Holy Cross Transportation Office provides a shuttle service program connecting Union Station (MBTA Commuter Rail) to campus, this is free to all faculty and staff.
Student programs- The Student Government Association provides many different services to the student body to supplement their education with opportunities to engage in the surrounding area of Worcester. This includes a shuttle service to local Worcester locations, such as the Union Station Commuter Rail connection (service into Boston), Worcester Art Museum, local shopping areas, and more. They also operate a bus service to major metros (Bridgeport CT, White Plains NY, New York City) in the North East to discourage single-occupancy transportation around break periods. https://www.holycross.edu/campus-life/clubs-organizations/sga/sga-services https://www.holycross.edu/maps-directions-transportation-and-parking/transportation
