Transportation Services We are a pedestrian campus that accommodates bicycles and offers limited parking to staff and visitors. A car is not necessary to explore off campus, as much of Baltimore is accessible by means of free and safe transportation. Our two most-used services are the HomewoodPeabody-JHMI Shuttle and the Blue Jay Shuttle. The Homewood-Peabody-JHMI Shuttle, which Blue Jays affectionately call “the Jimmy,” connects the Homewood campus with Penn Station, the Peabody Conservatory, and the medical campus. Approximately 200 scheduled trips occur each weekday; the schedule is available online at ts.jhu.edu/shuttles. The JHMI shuttle also connects your student to other means of public transportation that can take them all over Baltimore and beyond. The Metro is accessible at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and a transfer to the Light Rail is easy at Penn Station, where both Amtrak and commuter (MARC) trains stop. The Blue Jay Shuttle Night Ride service operates in an area proximate to the Homewood campus from
40
6 p.m. to 2 a.m. seven days per week, excluding university holidays and other dates as determined by the university. The service also operates at the Peabody Institute from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. during the fall and spring academic terms. The Night Ride shuttle is an easy and safe way for students to get around after dark. Dispatchers monitor all ride requests with a goal of completing most pickups within ten minutes. If all shuttles are busy, dispatchers will send a free Lyft for the requested ride (no Lyft account necessary). Additionally, shuttles are equipped with a GPS-based real-time transit information system available online (ondemand.transloc.com) or through a mobile app (transloc.com/app).
