    Summer Schedule Update:

    As final exams wrap up and the spring semester concludes next week, the BELC shuttle service will gradually scale back. Full shuttle service will continue through the end of exams on Monday, May 12. On Tuesday, May 13, service will be reduced to three shuttles. Two shuttles will operate on Wednesday, May 14, with support available for the Service Awards. On Thursday, May 15, and Friday, May 16, one shuttle will run between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Shuttle service will be suspended for the summer break beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 16.

    The new Bulldog Express Line Service will provide convenient transportation for members of the Bryant community traveling to and from the Business Entrepreneurship Leadership Center (BELC). Designed for ease and accessibility, this shuttle service offers a direct route to BELC, helping students, faculty, and staff access classes, resources, and events quickly and efficiently. With multiple stops across campus, the Bulldog Express Line aims to support student engagement and enhance the overall learning experience at the BELC. 

    Bulldog Express Shuttle Lines

    There are two shuttle lines.

    • Gold Line stops at the RIPTA bus shelter, the Townhouse Entrance, and the BELC. Shuttle #179 is ADA accessible on the gold line.
    • Black Line stops at Lot G, the Townhouse Entrance, and the BELC. Shuttle #182 is ADA accessible on the black line.

    Stop Locations

    There are 4 locations to board or disembark the shuttle. MBT Stop signs mark the stops.

    1. In front of the Business Entrepreneurship Leadership Center (BELC)
    2. Between the RIPTA bus shelter and main walking path (next to Bello and across from Parking Lot C)
    3. Lot G behind the Fisher Student Center (bus shelter in the works!)
    4. Townhouse Entrance (Jacobs Drive at Oak Circle)

    Track the Bulldog Express

    Log into the MBT app to track where the shuttles are on campus. 

    You can also Track the Bulldog Express Shuttle in a web browser. Use the hamburger icon to navigate to the routes.

    Visit the Campus Map for a visual representation of the campus.

    Shuttle Vehicles

    The available in-service shuttles will be adjusted to accommodate usage. We are starting with multiple 25 person shuttles and at least two smaller shuttles that will run continuously during service hours. The smaller shuttles and one of the 25 person shuttles are ADA accessible.

    On-demand only. Students assigned to the HIE can use the My Bryant Transit app to request rides to the Tupper Campus and the BELC and back on the Holiday Inn Express.

    Tupper On-Demand is a transportation service provided to Bryant University students, on demand, to pre-determined stops.  Along with several pre-determined stops of interest, students can preschedule trips in advance, to specific approved locations.  This service increases safety for student travel, as well as efficiencies in student directed travel, specifically their preferred locations/times.
