Why Transportation Options?
Yale Transportation Options is here to help you make transportation decisions that serve you, your community and the environment. After all, we are all connected.
Unpredictable gasoline prices and congested roads are making many of us reconsider our transportation options. Find out what your options are by filling out a "commuter counseling form." Trains, shuttles, ridesharing, walking and bicycling are among the solutions you will learn about here. Could they work for you?
Use the tools and information on this site to help you make the most informed transportation decisions. Click on Getting to Yale to find out how to access our university from the surrounding area/region, or click on Getting Around Yale to find out how to get around our campus, once you are here.
