  From Kennedy Plaza, which is the main bus terminal in Downtown Providence, you can take the R-Line bus towards the University of Rhode Island. After one stop, get off at the 'State House' stop. From there, walk north on North Main Street for about 0.1 miles. The War Memorial will be directly in front of you, across from the State House. Note that a single bus fare is $2.00.

• Biking

  If you prefer biking, you can rent a bike from one of the local bike-sharing stations, such as the one located at the corner of Dorrance Street and Washington Street. Once you have a bike, head south on Washington Street, then turn left onto South Main Street. Continue for about 0.3 miles until you reach the intersection with the War Memorial, which will be on your right. Be sure to check the bike rental rates, which typically start around $3.50 for a single ride.
