Getting Here and Around Town
We can't wait to welcome you to Pittsburgh! Ahead of your arrival, explore travel and transportation tips, familiarize yourself with campus buildings and facilities, and plan for any logistical considerations.
​Whether you're visiting from out of state, across the globe, or just a few towns over, use the resources below to determine the best routes and transportation for your travels.
By Airplane
Pittsburgh International Airport is about 20 miles (32km) from the conference. You can rent a car, catch the 28X Airport Flyer bus, which runs approximately every 30 minutes from the airport, or use car service/ride share options to get to campus or your hotel from the airport.
By Car
On our urban campuses, parking can be very limited. Many visitors find it easier to bus or use ride share services to arrive and get around. Uber, Lyft and taxi services are popular and easy to use in Pittsburgh. For those who plan to drive, you can explore parking options on ParkMobile (the zip code is 15213).
By Transit
Pittsburgh Regional Transit maintains bus and light rail routes throughout the city. Visit their website for fares, schedules and route information. Their Ready2Ride® mobile app offers a convenient way to purchase passes for bus, rail and Pittsburgh's famous incline. Download it in the App Store for iPhone or on Google Play.
Please note: If you'll be traveling from the east, plan ahead. There will be road closures due to construction on I-376 Parkway East.
If you plan to stay on Pitt's or CMU's campus, you will reserve your room when registering for the conference.
