Salve Regina
With the great Salve Regina/RIPTA partnership, all you have to do is hop on a Route 62 or 67 Trolley at Ochre Court and swipe your student ID in the upper right hand corner of the e-farebox..
During Spring and Fall semesters, you can use your student ID as a personal pass to get around campus or head off campus anywhere in Rhode Island on RIPTA’s trolleys and buses. Whether it’s a weekend getting around Newport, a road trip to Providence, or to visit a friend at another school, you can ride RIPTA to get there.
How to get to popular destinations from Campus
