The Shepard Building is on the lefthand corner of Washington and Union. There are designated handicapped parking spaces on Washington Street and Union. If no parking spaces are available, continue on Washington for two blocks and turn left on Snow Street. Take your second left, go one block, and turn left again onto Mathewson Street. Go through a blinking light at the intersection of Westminster and Matheson, and the parking lot is on the righthand side immediately after the church.
Handicapped parking is free.
The Commissioner's Office is now located on the 5th floor of the Shepard Building. By Bus Kennedy Plaza is the hub for all Rhode Island Public Transit Authority buses to and from downtown Providence. The Shepard building is a short walk, just two blocks up from City Hall at 255 Westminister Street.
