Getting to the UMD Campus locally

For commuters, the best option is to take the Metro Green Line to the College Park station, then catch the University shuttle (red bus) #104 to the UM Campus (stops on East side of Regents Drive Garage).

If you will be driving, parking is available at the Regents Drive Garage. You can pay for a parking passcode ($15/day) on the meeting registration page. Be aware that without this pass, the Garage charges $3/hour, with no cap on the number of hours.
