OUR INCREDIBLE TEAMS
DO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!
DO NOT IGNORE PARKING RESTRICTIONS!
DO NOT park your car illegally - even for a minute. Our meter maids take their
jobs very seriously. Apply for a resident permit sticker if your neighborhood
has posted "RESIDENT PARKING ONLY" signs.
Taking the T is one of the easiest ways to get around in Boston. The MBTA
website is a great place to get more information and schedules for the buses,
trains, ferry, and commuter rails.
GETTING SETTLED IN BOSTON....
DO CONSIDER USING A ZIPCAR!
This company offers the use of a car when you need it. It's
a great alternative to renting a car for a full day when you
are only going to use it for an hour or two. Check out their
website for more information.
