Taxis are recommended for transportation to and from the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) for the Hilton Milwaukee City Center Hotel. Shuttle service between the hotel and the airport is not available at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center. Uber and Lyft drop-off and pick-up service is available to/from the airport.
The Hilton Milwaukee City Center is directly connected to the conference Center and in walking distance to attractions and restaurants.
You can also get around Milwaukee using The Hop, a free streetcar that runs on a 2-mile route through downtown Milwaukee.

There are several options for taking the train to Milwaukee. The Amtrak Borealis operates a train route between St. Paul-Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Chicago 3 times a day. You can find more information here.
Carpooling Opportunities
Carpooling Opportunities
We have created a MCRC carpooling page on the Caroster website where conference attendees can coordinate rides.
Individuals who are driving to Milwaukee and would like to offer a ride to others can use the "Add a Trip" button (under “trips” on the left side of the screen) to provide information (e.g. departure location and time, number of spots available in your car). For those who are looking for a ride to Milwaukee or from the airport to your hotel, you can add yourself to the waitlist or identify a car traveling from a nearby location.
