Shuttles will depart from D-Lot every 30 minutes starting at 1 p.m., with the last shuttle departing from D-Lot at 4 p.m. Please arrive in D-Lot 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Vaccine appointment times for those riding the shuttle are flexible – the vaccine site will be notified that you are traveling via shuttle and will begin your vaccination process upon arrival at the Fleet Center.
