The Bulldog Express Line shuttle service begins on Tuesday, September 3rd.

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)

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.

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.
