TRAVEL TO NEW HAVEN
By train: New Haven’s Union Station is on the Northeast Corridor, and is well-served by Amtrak’s Northeast Regional and Acela trains (www.amtrak.com). There is also frequent commuter rail service on the MetroNorth Railroad (https://new.mta.info/agency/metro-north-railroad) from Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Downtown New Haven and Yale University are a few minutes by taxi/rideshare services from Union Station. Alternatively, attendees can take a Yale red line shuttle (https://yale.downtownerapp.com/routes) from Union Station to the College/Wall stop, on the same block as the School of Music; there is also the free Union Station Shuttle (https://www.cttransit.com/services/union-station-shuttle-new-haven), which runs between the station and the New Haven Green, just a few minutes’ walk from the conference venue.
By air: The local Connecticut airports are Tweed New Haven Airport (https://flytweed.com/), which is only a short taxi ride from downtown but can be quite limited in options for flights, and Hartford’s Bradley International Airport (https://bradleyairport.com/), which is just under an hour’s drive from New Haven or about 1.5–2 hours by public transportation using bus/train via Hartford (take the Bradley Flyer No. 30 bus to Hartford Union Station, then either CTrail or Amtrak to New Haven). For more choice in flights, attendees can fly into an airport in the New York City area. From John F. Kennedy Airport (https://www.jfkairport.com/), take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, then the Long Island Railroad to Grand Central Madison, then Amtrak or MetroNorth to New Haven. From Newark Liberty International Airport (https://www.newarkairport.com/), take the AirTrain to Newark Airport Station, then take Amtrak to New Haven. From LaGuardia Airport (https://www.laguardiaairport.com/), take the M60 bus to the 125th Street / Lexington Avenue stop, then take MetroNorth from the Harlem–125th Street Station to New Haven.
By road: New Haven is easily accessible from Interstate 95, Interstate 91, and Route 15.
