Travel and Lodging

Hotels: There are many hotels in the area, but we have setup an arrangement with the Courtyard by Marriott on University Ave, which is a 20 minute walk (or shorter busride) away from the building in which the workshop will be held.

Airports:

• Ontario International Airport is the closest to UCR, and we recommend you book a flight there if feasible.

  • Upsides: Closest and easiest for local logistics

  • Downsides: Connecting flights, possibly prices

  • Easiest path to Riverside: Ride share (~$40) or taxi

• LAX is the largest airport nearby

  • Upsides: Lower flight costs, fewer/no connecting flights

  • Downsides: It's at least 1 hr away by car, longer on public transit; *traffic* at LAX and in LA is a serious matter

  • Easiest path to Riverside: Ride share ($100+)  or taxi; public transit is possible, via bus (or rideshare/taxi) to LA Union Station and then Metrolink to Riverside or San Bernardino (latter requires a bus or rideshare to get to Riverside)

• John Wayne Airport in Orange County, or Palm Springs airport

  • Upsides: Sometimes prices are lower

  • Downsides: Even harder to get to Riverside without a rideshare or taxi

  • Easiest path to Riverside: Ride share (expensive)
