Local Transportation and Parking
University shuttle buses will provide local transportation during
the workshop and its related activities. Since we need to know how
many persons require bus transportation, please indicate this on
your registration.
Those of you arriving by car can drive to the MSC parking garage,
adjacent to the Workshop site. Since the Workshop is held during
the University’s spring break week, ample parking is expected.
Parking fees are $2/hr for the first two hours, after that $1/hr
per hour. As an alternative, a reserved parking place is available
for $15/day; call 979-862-6585.
For our site tours on March 14 and March 15 all participants are
requested to use the bus service, due to parking limitations at
the sites.
