Three major airports serve the Baltimore-Washington DC area:

Important note: Participants should plan an hour at minimum for
travel time to airports. How much time is dependent on which
airport, time-of-day, and general traffic conditions.
Please check your route the day-of your flight and give yourself
extra time.

GROUND TRANSPORTATION

  • Uber and Lyft services are available from all three airports
    (recommended if not renting a car)
  • Car Rental Agencies
  • The Hotel is located one mile from the College Park Metro station,
    which is on Metro’s Green Line (20-minute walk); however, a trip
    on the Metro to/from DCA, for example, will take about 75 minutes
    and includes one transfer and a bus ride. The cost is less than $6.
  • Complimentary shuttle service is available from The Hotel at UMD lobby. The Hotel shuttle offers transportation to the College Park Metro station and access to other destinations within a three-mile radius.
  • The Maryland MARC Train, which runs between Baltimore’s Camden
    Station and Washington DC’s Union Station is a quick and convenient
    way to traverse the corridor between these two major cities. The MARC
    Train Station is located on the West side of the College Park Metro Station.
  • Taxis are available at each airport; however, even though it’s possible
    to get a taxi that originates from MD, VA, or DC, they all have different
    rates and some have additional fees for crossing state lines or zones
    and/or fees for each piece of luggage. From DCA, taxi fees could run between $44-$80.
