Free Shuttle
Visitors and downtown employees can park free and take a free shuttle from Market Street. (Take Exit 7 from Interstate 95. The lot will be on your left.)
The shuttle will run every 10 minutes Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 1:30 a.m. and Sundays from noon to 11 p.m. until the end of the year. Through August, the shuttle also runs Thursdays from 4:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
The shuttle circulates between the 120+ space parking lot at the Connect Community Church on Market Street and the Hanover Street bus stop adjacent to the High/Hanover Parking Garage.
For more information, including where the shuttle is right now (during operating hours), see shuttle web page.
Public Transportation
It is possible to get around Portsmouth and the Seacoast without a car, but there are gaps in the system and no easy source of information.
The best sources are:
- CommunityRides.org
- Google Maps “directions” (Note: Google Maps does not to include C&J bus lines (6/15), which offers hourly service between Boston and the Portsmouth transportation center. However, bus service to downtown Portsmouth, 3 miles, is spotty. )
