Partners shuttle service during the DNC

Although significant travel restrictions are planned during the week of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) — July 26 to 29 — Partners Transportation has developed a plan for the Partners shuttles to transport riders in a safe and efficient manner.
A detailed listing of shuttle services will be posted on the hospital's DNC web site at www.massgeneral.org/dnc. These schedules are subject to change. MGH employees and staff must wear their ID badges to ride any of the Partners shuttles. Riders should plan for additional travel time as the shuttles may experience traffic delays. The main change to the Partners shuttle service will be the replacement of the North Station shuttle stop with service to and from the Sullivan Square MBTA Station where commuters can have access to the Orange Line. Shuttle services will travel from Sullivan Square to the MGH main campus and back; from Sullivan Square to CNY and One Constitution Center and back; and from CNY and One Constitution Center to the MGH main campus. The Everett, Chelsea, Revere and East Boston health center shuttle schedules are being adjusted to support patient travel to and from the MGH main campus. The MGH and BWH Lansdowne service will be provided on the hour, instead of every half hour. Questions regarding the shuttle schedule during the DNC can be sent to hotline@partners.org
