HARVARD PARKING

We are committed to providing safe, reliable parking as well as related motorist assistance to the University community.  We support the mission of the University through a collaborative effort that emphasizes flexibility, fairness, sensitivity, and mutual respect.

Motorist Assistance Program – (M.A.P.)

This service is available free-of-charge to all faculty, staff, students and visitors parked on Harvard University property who need help changing a tire, charging a dead battery, retrieving keys that have been locked inside a vehicle or run out of gas.

M.A.P. service is available 24 hours, 7 days a week (including University holidays), by calling 617-496-HELP (4357).

Biking

  • Bike racks are located at the main entrance and second floor back entrance.  Resources are available to bikers on the Harvard Commuter Choice Bike page including discounted helmets, benefits, parking on campus and bike share programs.
  • Students, faculty, and staff are strongly encouraged to register their bicycles. Registration serves as a deterrent to theft and can help in the recovery of stolen bicycles. The serial number is recorded and an identifying sticker is placed on your bicycle.

CycleToScience

CycleToScience is an ongoing project created by our post-doc Juliana Cherston. This project catalogs scientific sites that is accessible by bicycle and public transit. The goal of this project is to showcase amazing scientific sites that are easily accessible in the Greater Boston area. Eventually expanding into other scientific sites in other regions of the grand planet we call home.

The mission of CycleToScience is to bring the physical spaces of science innovation to the limelight. An area for you and your friends to explore the questions raised by great scientific minds. From the grand scale of the cosmos, down to the micro scale of atoms (and even smaller!). From the deepest darks of the ocean, to the furthest heights of the mountains. CycleToScience believes that these areas should be places of deep thought and excitement for one and all!
