Transportation between New Haven Train Stations and Campus

Union Station Shuttle

The Union Station shuttle connects the New Haven Green, various downtown locations, parking, and Union Station—every 20 minutes. View the map and schedule.

Yale Shuttle

The Yale Shuttle provides service between Union Station and campus destinations. Please note that there are now TWO shuttle stop locations in front of Union Station. If the stop directly in front of the station is congested, shuttle drivers pick up in front of the parking garage. Please look for Shuttles in both locations.

For information on access to train stations at your place of origin, contact the local transit authority or town/city government where the train station is located. Some towns offer commuter connection services and most manage parking arrangements at the train stations.
