Shuttle Schedule

To/From Fairfield Inn

For ScienceWriters2015 attendees staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites, the Hampton Inn, or the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, shuttles provided by Knight Science Journalism at MIT will carry passengers to the conference sites each morning, and back to the hotels at the close of activities each evening.

The shuttle, a large commercial bus, will pick up and drop off at the Fairfield Inn only due to parking constraints. Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn guests should leave a little extra time to walk to the Fairfield Inn to meet the bus. (Please note that Monsignor O'Brien Highway is a busy boulevard. Holiday Inn guests should walk to Third Street and use the crosswalk there.)
