This week is dedicated to planes, trains, and automobiles!
We=92re about a month away from ResNet=92s Student Technology Conference! =
As
your trip to the Elm City becomes less of an abstraction, we=92d like to
outline some ground transportation options. We=92ve tried to include the
cheapest option as well as the easiest option, but there are definitely
other options as well.
If you have any further questions on ground transportation, please contact
us at host@resnetsymposium.org or post something in the 2011 Student
Technology Conference forums<http://resnetsymposium.org/resnet2011/bbpress/=
>.
We also encourage you to post there if you are planning on driving from an
airport and are willing to carpool.
In addition, if you=92re still looking for the cheapest airfare, you can lo=
ok
into flights to Providence Airport (PVD). From PVD, you can take the RIPTA
Bus to Providence Train Station, which then connects to Amtrak. Or, if
you=92re driving, it=92s about 1 hour and 45 minutes by car and an easy tra=
vel
along I-95.
Shuttle Service

icut
