Travel

For grads using air travel, Ontario Airport is highly recommended, as it is less than a 30 minute drive to campus. Super Shuttle 1-800-258-3826 provides transport to the hotel for $30 and $9 for each additional person: "incoming" requires five to six hours advance registration; "outgoing" requires 24 hours advance reservation (www.supershuttle.com).

Transportation Services will post an attendant selling two-day parking passes on Friday morning (from about 8-10—afterwards from a kiosk) for $11 each in the lot designated for DJ parking. (Panelists who will only be here on Friday or Saturday will need to purchase regular permits from a kiosk and then park in a gold lot; the cost is $6 for Friday and $5 for Saturday).

On Friday, April 8, park in Gold Lot 30 (TH1). Exit the 60E from Martin Luther King. Upon entering the campus on Canyon Crest, there will be signs directing you to DJ parking and then from there guiding you to the Humanities building on foot. Toward the afternoon, signs will be redirected to a kiosk, so late-comers can purchase their parking passes there.

On Saturday, April 9, park in Blue Lot 1, directly (more or less) across from our building. Enter the campus from University to Campus Drive. From there, signs will direct you to the kiosk outside Lot 1, where you will be told where to park. Once again, pedestrian signs will direct you to the Humanities building.

Please park only in designated areas. All participants must follow parking instructions printed on the permit to avoid a citation.
