Campus Transportation

Ripta

All freshman students are eligible for the RWU RIPTA plan, which includes a number of free rides per semester during their first year at RWU. The RIPTA bus stop is located about 10 feet from campus grounds, and can take you to virtually any corner of Rhode Island, including both Newport and Providence. The RWU bus stop is designated as “Mount Hope Bridge” stop on the Rt. 60 Schedule at http://www.ripta.com/60.

Zipcar

Not having a car is no longer an issue! Whether you need a car for a few hours to run errands or the whole day, you can use Zipcars. They’re parked right on campus, outside of the Fine Arts building. With a Zipcar, everything is included with the hourly rate, starting at $11.50 and $84.00/day. It only costs $25 to join. You only have to be 18 years old to join ZipCar.

Campus Shuttle

The Main Shuttle Shelter is located across from the Admissions House Parking Lot 1 for all off-campus transportation including public transportation terminals. The Baypoint Residential and Conference Center Shuttle leaves from the Main Shuttle Shelter. The Bristol Shuttle leaves from the Main Shuttle Shelter.
