Newport, Rhode Island is conveniently located in the heart of New England and is easily reached by plane, train, bus or car. For travel options, please visit the Discover Newport website.

A cab ride from Greene airport would be $60-70; a less expensive option would be to take a bus to the Newport Visitor Center and a cab from there to Salve Regina University.
