Connect by Transit
Public transit is a great way to get to the Assembly Square District. The Orange Line connects the MBTA subway and commuter rail networks to Assembly while the MBTA Route 90 Bus connects Davis Square with Assembly Square.
Connect by Bike
We’ve partnered with Bluebikes to connect the Assembly Square District to get to your favorite locations via bike! If you’re an Assembly resident or employee, we can save you money with our discount Bluebikes Membership Subsidy Program. Join our bicycle benefits program to receive discounts from retailers nation-wide!
Connect on Foot
Consider Walking
Walking not only saves you money and reduces your personal carbon footprint, but also helps you to stay fit & healthy.
Get to know the neighborhood. Take a walk around your area – it can be a very different point of view from driving! Note where crosswalks are and take note of ways you can consolidate trips by doing errands at stops along the way.
Identify how far the walk is.The average walking speed is 3 MPH. Therefore if your destination is within this distance, walking could be right for you!
If you live further than 3 miles you may be able to walk a portion of the trip to/from a train station, bus stop, or park & ride lot or perhaps drive your car (or carpool!) to an appropriate location and walk the last leg of the trip.
Connect by Car
There are so many fun ways to commute sustainably by car! Our carpool program gives Assembly employees up to $225 in gas money over three months—just for sharing the ride! We’ve also teamed up with Zipcar to offer exclusive discounts for employees and residents. You can explore both options right on the TripConnect app. We don’t have a vanpool just yet, but if you’re interested in starting one, we’d love to hear from you!
