Parking and Shuttles
It is difficult to find parking at MIT, use of public transportation is highly encouraged.
You can use the MIT Medical parking lot for doctor's appointments and Health Education activities in the MIT Medical Building.
If you have a permit of any kind, you can park in any lot on weekends and after hours (between 5:30pm and 7:30am) MIT-affiliated people without a permit may park their vehicles in Hayward Lot, N10 Lot, East Lot, Pacific Lot, Sloan Lot, Windsor Lot and Tang Center Lot (E51).
MIT also provides a variety of shuttles to help you get around campus (including Tech Shuttle, Northwest Shuttle and SafeRide). They also provide a shuttle between the MIT campus and Wellesley College.
The CambridgeSide Galleria Mall offers a free shuttle service to and from the MBTA Kendall Square T Stop. The bus runs every 20 minutes during operating hours. The route picks up and drops off at CambridgeSide Galleria.
