Public Transportation & Parking

Public Transportation

SEAT (Southeast Area Transit District) offers two types of transportation from the College to downtown New London. The College, SEAT, and New London city officials are discussing how students can ride the public transportation system with the cost covered by the College. The discussions also include possibly expanding hours for the Smart Ride service, including on Sundays. Further information will be available later in the summer.

Parking

The Manwaring is connected via a pedestrian bridge to a private parking garage. Students can arrange to pay a monthly fee to the garage owner for dedicated parking spaces. The monthly fee for the parking garage is not known at this time. More information on the monthly parking fee will be shared as soon as possible.

Please make decisions related to transportation based on the current schedule. Further information on bus schedules and payment options will be shared later this summer.
