Parking
Freshman residents are not permitted to
have automobiles on campus or within the city of Newport during the academic
year. The fines and sanctions for violating this policy are listed in the
student handbook.
Upper-class students are assigned parking in the vicinity
of their residence halls. There is a one car/one space policy in effect from 7
a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Resident students are not permitted to
use their vehicles for on-campus transportation during that time, and resident
students who park on a city street or in other campus parking lots are subject to
ticketing for violating this policy.
Commuter students are not permitted to use resident lots.
All vehicles parked on Salve Regina property must have a
valid permit. All parking violations carry a fine of $50, and repeat violators
will be towed.
RIPTA
The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA)
provides free transportation to students with a valid Salve Regina ID.
Two RIPTA trolleys run simultaneously through campus from
6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.
Students with valid IDs may also use any statewide RIPTA service such as
Providence or Kingston. Trolley and bus schedules are available in the Office
of Safety and Security, the Office of Residential Life, Miley Hall, Wakehurst
and the O'Hare Academic Center.
University Shuttle
Salve Regina operates two shuttle services for students.
The on-campus shuttle runs from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. and transports students
throughout campus as requested. The off-campus shuttle runs from 8 p.m. to 1
a.m. and transports students to four specific locations within the city of
Newport.
Shuttles are also provided for students
participating in community service. Vans and
drivers are available to offices and departments for field trips.
