Travel to California for the Workshop and Accomodations

There are four major airports within about 45 mile radius of Cal Poly Pomona. These include Los Angeles International Airport, Burbank Bob Hope Airport, Long Beach Airport, Orange County John Wayne Airport, and Ontario Airport. Kellogg West Conference Center on the Cal Poly campus has free shuttle service from Ontario Airport. All others must make arrangements for transportation to and from the various airports. Those whose rooms will be booked at the Shilo Hilltop Inn down the street can be picked up with the Kellogg shuttle, brought to campus, and returned to that hotel.  If you are amenable to sharing your contact information, we can distribute it to all the participants, and you can coordinate among yourselves to arrange transportation should you be arriving at similar times at the same airport.

NSF does not cover travel expenses. NSF covers your hotel accommodations while attending the workshop.  Accomodations will probably be split between Kellogg West and Shilo Inn. You will receive final confirmation from us. Please do not make reservations yourself. Double room occupancy will be fully covered by the NSF. If you prefer a single room, you are responsible for half the cost of the room. Incidentals will be charged to you, regardless. Both Kellogg and Shilo have restaurants, and campus food services will be open during the workshop week as well.

If you will be renting a car, again consider sharing if possible. Please let us know if you will be driving to campus with a rental car so we can alert University Parking Services and you do not get ticketed. This will also help us arrange transportation to various dinner venues throughout the workshop week.
