Airlines:

Commercial airlines fly to Providence. Commercial ground travel must then be arranged to Newport. A 12-passenger van provides shuttle service every hour from T. F. Green (Providence) Airport (PVD) to Newport for about $20. Taxi fare from the airport to Newport is approximately $65. No Navy transportation is available from the Providence Airport, which is the closest airport to the naval complex. You will be reimbursed for travel expenses, so save all of your receipts. If you are flying to Rhode Island ensure your recruiter or detaching command provide you with a Government Travel Request.

*** NOTE *** If you take the airport shuttle or taxi and they are not permitted on base, call the OTC CDO: 401-862-4321.

Automobiles:

You must be protected by liability insurance for personal injury of a minimum of $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, and $10,000 property damage before you are permitted to operate the vehicle on the Newport Naval complex. Due to the large number of students throughout OTC, especially in the summer, parking can be limited and will be at some distance from your living quarters. Students are not allowed to utilize staff parking areas.
