Commercial and Public Transportation Those flying into Salt Lake City for the conference have both commercial and public transportation options to get to their lodging locations and the conference location. Cabs, limousines and shuttles provided by many hotels both to and from the airport (be sure to ask your lodging option if they are one) are regularly available at the airport. Public tranpsortation options are also available. Buses and a commuter rail, called TRAX, are both readily available from the airport. The Bus option costs $2.00 to get into downtown – requesting a bus transfer when you get on will allow you to transfer from the airport line to either the University of Utah line (to get to the conference site or to the University Marriott) or to go south on Main Street (to get to Little America). TRAX is slightly more expensive, $2.50, but can get you right to Little America or the Conference site (it is just south of the South Campus station for Trax) and just a short walk to University Marriott on Wakara Way Drive. TRAX’s fare is $2.50 (one way) with a potential $1.25 additional for a one-way route deviation fare. A day pass is $6.25 and a 10-punch route deviation punch card is also available for $12.50 - all the TRAX stations from the airport to the U of U have ticket/fare kiosks which accept credit cards for payment of fares or the day pass or the route deviation fares. The Green Line (#704) goes from the airport to the Courthouse and then to Little America, continuing on into the southern part of Salt Lake Valley. The Red Line (#704) goes from the southwest part of Salt Lake Valley north until it goes to Little America on Main Street and then to the Courthouse and proceeds easterly to the University of Utah’s South Campus station and beyond. This South Campus station which is the closest to the Conference site location (U of U’s LDS Institute of Religion Building – located immediately south of the TRAX station). The TRAX line does NOT go TO the University Marriott but is very close – a short walk to the south & east, to Wakara Way Drive. What to bring You’ll need to bring your own laptop to the conference.
