The Consortium coordinates a free shuttle bus service, operated by AA Transportation Company, Inc. of Shrewsbury. This intercampus transportation service, which uses a wheelchair-lift equipped bus, connects six Worcester campuses: WPI, Becker, Assumption, Clark, Worcester State and Holy Cross, and the downtown area. The service is designed to provide access to other campuses for cross-registration, library use, and athletic and social events. Through connections with the RTA public bus system, the Consortium shuttle also provides full access to the Worcester community for commuting students, jobs and internships, cultural events, entertainment and shopping.
Special signs are posted at each stop with the shuttle route map and schedule on the back. Routes and schedules are also posted inside the vans, along with information directing riders to the nearest RTA stop. Brochures on the shuttle service and other transportation options are also available in the registrars' and student services offices on each campus, as well as in the Consortium office.
Questions or problems should be directed to AA Transportation Company, Inc. at 508-791-9100.
