Accessible Transportation, Shuttles & Parking

Massachusetts General Hospital is conveniently located near accessible public transportation and provides accessible parking and shuttle services.

Public Transportation

The Charles/MGH stop on the MBTA's red line is ADA-compliant and barrier-free. Elevators and escalators can transport patrons between the street level and train platform level.

The station's north exit (to the right as you exit the station) is the best route to Mass General. It lines up with the pedestrian entrance to Mass General's Yawkey Center for Outpatient Care. There is a pedestrian crosswalk with a traffic signal to cross the three lanes of traffic that separate the station from the Yawkey Building. Once in the Yawkey Building, you may take the escalator or elevator to the second floor. There is an enclosed walkway that will bring you to elevators in the Lunder Building, which provide access to the hospital's Main Lobby.

Additionally, MBTA's The RIDE offers door-to-door transportation to eligible people who cannot use general public transportation. In order to use The RIDE, you must complete an application to become eligible.

Shuttle Services

Wheelchair-accessible shuttles operate between various Mass General locations and buildings. Whenever possible, please contact Mass General Brigham Transportation at 617-726-2250 at least 24 hours in advance if you need to request a shuttle with a wheelchair lift.
