The College is located at the nexus of several major transportation lines—the Green and Orange MBTA lines, as well as several bus routes—greatly reducing the need for students and staff members to travel by car. In fact, a 2008 transportation survey revealed that of 1,022 Emerson employee-commuters who responded, 59.8% took the subway to work, 20.9% took a bus/subway combination, 13.3% took a commuter rail/subway combination, 3.8% took a bus/commuter rail/ subway combination, and 2.2% took the commuter rail. The survey was conducted by the College and submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.

Emerson also provides two locked bicycle parking areas: the Boylston Place Bike Room holds 50 bicycles, and the Ansin Building Bike Parking facility holds about 20.

The city of Boston has established a bike-sharing program, Hubway, and two stations are located near Emerson (Chinatown and Stuart/Charles streets).
