Transportation

UCLA is located in a mostly residential neighborhood. There is bus service available. Transportation from the airport is best by taxi. Typical fair is about $45. Local hotels are not large and do not provide free airport shuttles.

The Los Angeles Metro system does not connect to either UCLA or LAX. (A bit of a mystery).

Taxis are available. Step out onto the sidewalk just outside of the terminal and walk to a taxi stop that should be marked by an overhead sign. The LAX website provides more information on Taxi services at LAX, including a list of taxi companies serving LAX and a map for taxi waiting area.

Parking

Parking will be provided in Lot 2 on the UCLA campus. This parking structure is located across the street from the Geology/Slichter Hall/Young building complex where the meeting will be held.

Let Todd King know if you will need parking. When you arrive the first day, go to the kiosk located near the north end of the Lot 2. An attendent will provide you will parking permit which will be reserved under your name.

Meals

The campus offers a variety of dining choices for lunch and dinner. Places to eat on campus
