Campus Parking

The Parking Garage in Dowling Hall (located at 419 Boston Avenue, Medford) is open to visitors for $5 per visit. Just drive your car into the garage, park, and enter the building. Then purchase a token from any token machine located in Dowling Hall (the elevator lobbies on floors 3, 5, and 7, as well as the Parking Office on the first floor.) When your business at Tufts is done and you're ready to leave, you'll need to insert your token in a machine in order to drive your car out of the garage.

Until you've enrolled here at Tufts and purchase a parking permit/decal, you can continue to use the garage as a visitor (and pay $5/visit).

Visitors to campus can also park along the lower portion of Packard Avenue at no cost during the hours of 8am-1am. (Somerville parking permits are required for overnight parking.)

Commuter Parking
Permit parking is available in designated areas convenient to classrooms, the Cousens Complex, and the Aidekman Arts Center. Various parking permits are available to students.

Tufts Shuttle Services
As part of the on-going effort to make the campus more accessible and secure, Tufts provides an escort service that operates from early evening until early morning. This service provides transportation (on an "as needed" basis) around campus and to Davis Square in Somerville on a scheduled route. During the day, the Tufts Shuttle transports students around campus.
