Transit & Travel
Workshop participants arriving at Logan Airport have the option of either taking public transit (the "T") to the Boston University Campus, or of taking a taxi or ride share. For more information about the "T" and to plan your route to campus, please consult the MBTA website. In both cases, clearly marked signs at the arrival gates of Logan Airport will direct you to the appropriate pickup points for both vehicles and "T" shuttles.
Parking
In the event that workshop participants are planning on travelling to the workshop by car, a number of parking options are available on the Boston University campus.
Those staying in the discounted lodging at 10 Buick St. should plan to park in the Langsam Garage at 142 Gardner St. The cost for parking overnight in the garage is $24/night. Those commuting into Boston each day by car may wish to park at the Granby Lot at 665 Commonwealth Ave, given its proximity to the workshop venue.
If you have any questions or concerns about parking options, please feel free to reach out to us directly, or to contact BU Parking & Transportation Services by emailing parking [at] bu [dot] edu.
