LESLEY UNIVERSITY BENEFITS

Transportation Benefit

Public Transportation Pre-Tax Pass:

Since parking at Lesley University is very limited, employees are strongly encouraged to use public transportation. To help defray the cost of public transportation, Lesley University (under the Transportation Equity Act) allows employees to pay for certain employment-related transportation expenses on a pre-tax basis. Examples of these include the purchase of MBTA passes and payment of parking lot fees associated with the commute to work. Contact Crosby Benefits to enroll in pre-tax deductions for public transportation expenses.

Free parking is available at Alewife and Quincy Adams stations for those employees who use public transportation to and from work.

Anyone who is required to work approved overtime by his/her Supervisor is eligible for a guaranteed ride home. Please call Security to arrange your ride at 617-349-8888.

For more information on public transportation, please visit the Pre-Tax Transportation Benefit page

Shuttle Service:

The Lesley shuttle services all four campus locations (South Campus, Porter Exchange, Art Institute at Boston, and the Episcopal Divinity School) and is available from September through May. There is no shuttle service on weekends, University observed holidays, student breaks, or during the summer semester (June through August). The schedule is subject to change. For information about shuttle schedules and stops, please contact the Security Office, or visit the website: www.lesley.edu/services/operations/shuttle.html

Lesley University, in cooperation with the City of Cambridge, encourages employees to use public transportation, whenever possible. Since we are an urban campus, opportunities for parking at Lesley are extremely limited. Employees who are eligible for parking spaces pay a monthly fee through Payroll deduction. Parking permits are granted by the University on the express condition that the University is not responsible for any damage that occurs to a vehicle while parked on Lesley property. The Security Department manages all parking issues for faculty, students and staff at Lesley. Staff members are encouraged to coordinate any and all parking requests for special events (meetings. conferences etc.) in advance with the Security Department.

Special consideration will be provided to employees driving in carpools with more than two other employees.

For further information about costs to park on campus, contact the Security Department at 617-349-8888, or your Human Resources Representative.
