Gordon College travel notes

• Gordon College does not operate regular local or airport transportation service and cannot pickup/deliver individual students on-call. A modestly scheduled local shuttle is available (see below).
• Gordon College Orientation provides initial transport to campus in the Fall to aid arriving first-time students from Logan International Airport based on identified need. Information included in Orientation registration materials.
• Gordon College Admissions provides transportation for visiting students and families coming from a distance.
• GCSA is in the process of partnering with outside transport providers to create a better system to get to and from the Logan airport during peak travel periods.

GCSA, CSD, and Gordon College do not make any representation or association by posting these services or connections, we do not benefit from student use of these services, and your travel plans and safety, and your contact with service staff is at your own risk. Please exercise good judgment in doing personal business wherever you go in life.

Listed below are some local private transport services offered in the area. Please make your plans accordingly and try to organize rides with other students in order to keep your costs at a minimum. Some of the ones listed provide the lowest local price (mention Gordon College), and will accept payment from a distance (credit card in advance), and will allow students to share rides with other students (buddy-up).
