Directions and Transportation

  • Travel from local airports to Rockville, MD (The Universities at Shady Grove (USG)) will require an Uber or Lyft, which is by far the best way to obtain car service.
  • As there is road traffic in the region, the fastest way to the USG campus is the DCA airport, then taking the Metro subway from the airport to USG, then taking Uber or Lyft. Alternatively, fly into any WAS airport and take Uber or Lyft. If flying into BWI airport, we suggest taking Uber or Lyft to USG.
  • The Metro subway serves DCA and IAD airports, which connects with the USG stop on the red line. If flying into IAD, taking the Metro will save some cost, but will probably take extra time, even if traffic is heavy.

Parking

  • The Traville-Gateway Garage is the closest parking garage to the venue (parking map). Attendees can only park in the following locations: Traville-Gateway garage parking (Levels 2-6), Lot 2, and the Shady Grove garage (campus map). If you park in other areas, you may be ticketed.
