By Nathan Klosowski

Please be aware charter bus rates through the Transportation Services office will be increasing. Per our contract with bus company North Reading Transportation, charter rates will be increasing by 3% as we enter our fourth year. 

The new rate for chartering a yellow school bus will be $72.10 and the new rate for UMass Lowell branded buses will be $92.70. The rate for UMass Lowell shuttles will not be changing. Our contracted rates still offer the UMass Lowell community a significant savings over other options. Please visit our charter webpage for more information!
