Because of its proximity to Washington, and the outlying suburbs, College Park has connections, although sometimes tenuous, to many local transportation systems. One could also argue that the Baltimore-Washington International Airport is convenient to the campus. BWI is located approximately 25 miles from the conference site. That the Dulles International Airport is listed last should not be taken as a sign of its inferiority.
Shuttle service is available from it to the conference site.
The University runs a free shuttle service, ShuttleUM, around the campus and from campus to various points off-campus. The shuttle is intended to serve the commuter students, and student ID must be shown to ride most routes. However two ShuttleUM routes are available to campus visitors, and may be useful to conference attendees. This express bus runs between the campus and the College Park Metro Station, where you can connect to the Washington D.C. Metrorail system and the MARC Camden line, a commuter rail train to Baltimore's Inner Harbor and Camden Yards Park and Ride Thos bus serves all of the major campus parking lots and buildings. It is convenient for getting around campus if you should wish to do so.
