Driving: Springboard’s offices is accessible from I-94 and is between the Dale Street and the Marion/Kellogg Street exits. We have a large parking lot right next to the building for accessible parking.

The lot is before the building itself, so look for the big sign that has the Ford logo shape and says PRE-OWNED VEHICLES.

Transit and Biking: University Avenue is a major bus thoroughfare, Route 16 is the regular bus line. There is a bus stop at University Avenue and Farrington Street, and University Avenue and Marion Street.

The Green Line Light Rail passes right by our offices, and we are directly between the Western Avenue Station and the Capitol/Rice Street Station. We have bike racks installed directly in front of our offices.

Other information: A handy landmark is our next-door neighbor at University and Marion, the McDonald’s in a former bank. As soon as you see it, you know it.
