Parking and Public Transportation.

MTL is located at 50 Vassar Street in Cambridge, MA. 

Parking can be tough at MIT! We recommend public transportation or a taxi/rideshare service (such as Uber or Lyft). If you do drive, when possible, park where you’re staying and use public transportation or a taxi/rideshare service to campus. If you must drive to the campus, on- and off-street parking is available for a fee.

From Logan Airport

  • Taxi or rideshare: Taxi fare from the airport is about $35–$40, and a rideshare service can range from about $20–$35. During non-rush hour, the ride will take about 15 minutes; during rush hour, it may take 30 minutes or more.

  • Subway: From any terminal at Logan Airport, take the Silver Line bus to South Station. At South Station, change to the Red Line subway to Kendall/MIT (inbound toward Alewife). The ride should take about 30 minutes.
