Preparing for No Frills 2010

Transportation

Transportation will also be provided from the hotel to the conference for delegations that do not have their own transportation. For delegations that have their own transportation, complimentary parking will be available in the Nebraska parking lot across the street from main campus, shuttle service will be provided to the hotel. Delegations may also park at the hotel for an additional $48 per vehicle.

Transportation will be provided by rental vans driven by staff from the department of Housing and Dining. Transportation for Friday night’s entertainment will require the use of the metro bus and metro rail system. Fare cards will be provided.

Arriving by Plane

American University is accessible via Ronald Reagan International Airport (DCA), Dulles International Airport (IAD), and Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI). Transportation to and from Ronald Reagan International Airport will be provided at no additional cost. For delegations that prefer to use B.W.I or Dulles International Airport, resources will be provided to help arrange your own transportation.

Shuttles will also be available from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to the hotel. We strongly recommend that if you and your delegation are flying in for the conference that you fly into Reagan National Airport. You will have shuttle service provided and the airport is connected directly to the metro.
