Goddard Chapel – Directions and Parking

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Take the Red Line T to Davis Square. During term there is a white bus called the Joey (Joseph’s Transportation) that goes from the Davis Square T station to the Tufts Campus Center (Schedules are available here: http://publicsafety.tufts.edu/adminsvc/the-joey-medfordsomerville-campus-shuttle). Goddard Chapel is at the top of the hill across from the Campus Center, next to Ballou Hall.

DRIVING AND PARKING: We recommend driving to and parking in Tufts’ Dowling Hall Garage, located at 419 Boston Avenue. This garage is built up the hillside that Tufts’ Medford/Somerville campus is on, so if you park in the garage and take the elevator to the 7th floor, you will be at the top of the hill. Walk straight out of the building over the bridge to the Green and Goddard Chapel will be straight ahead.

For weddings and evening or weekend events, parking is available behind West, Bendetson, Packard, and East Halls, which are located on the opposite side of the Green from Goddard Chapel, and on Professors Row which runs at the base of the hill beneath Goddard Chapel.

Visitors may pay for their parking sessions via the Sentry webportal, or payment kiosks.
