Transportation To/from Socorro
We must have your travel (including hotel/motel) information
for you to use the NRAO transportation. Please fill out this
form, if you have not already done so.
NRAO will provide transport between Albuquerque Airport and Socorro on
Monday, June 7th only.
The times of these buses were set to best match the flight arrival times
of the workshop participants. More information will be available the
end of May. Be sure to check this page right before you start your
trip to Socorro, as schedules will change.
The current schedule is:
MON, 7 June 2010: Leave airport at: 2:45 pm, 6:45 pm and 11:15 pm.
There will be a "sweeper" van which will pick up people who arrive after 11:00pm.
We will have greeters at the Albuquerque airport.
PLEASE CONTACT A GREETER WHEN YOU ARRIVE.
The greeter has a list of people that need to be picked up, if you arrange other transportation, please tell the greeter.
The greeter will be on the baggage claim level, near the escalators.
Look for an NRAO sign. Judy Stanley will be the primary greeter at the
Airport. Her cellphone number is 505-515-5780.
NRAO will provide transportation to the airport on the
evening of Tuesday, June 15th and the morning of Wednesday,
June 16th only.
The trip takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. Further information will be mailed
to registered participants at the end of May, and will also be available
on the workshop web site.
Commercial Shuttle
If you are unable take advantage of the free NRAO shuttles provided above
then it is possible to arrange for transportation through American
Transportation (formerly known as Socorro Taxi). The cost is
approximately $70 one-way per person, and arrangements will be the
responsibility of the traveler. Contact American Transportation
directly (jess@socorrotaxi.com, or call, inside the US, the toll-free
number 1-800-991-4276 or, outside the US, 575-835-4276). A credit card
will be required, and reservations must be made well in advance.
Albuquerque-based taxis will sometimes agree to take passengers to
Socorro. If they do and there are several passengers a taxi might
be the most economical option.
Within Socorro
We must have your hotel/motel information
for you to use the NRAO transportation inside Socorro.
Please fill out this
form, if you have not already done so.
Shuttles will pick people up from the several hotels between 8:00 and
9:00 am each morning take them to NMT campus or the SOC depending on
the schedule for that day. These shuttles will be on a continuous
round so just go out to the front of your hotel and wait. If you
are not staying in one of those motels/hotels we recommend walking
to one of them and waiting there.
On the day of the hike and the VLA tour buses will pick up as the
hotels at specific times. These will be announced at the workshop.
On lecture days buses will leave from
Workman 101 after the lectures to return to the motels. On the days of
the reception and Workshop dinner buses will return to the motels the after the reception/dinner. Stay tuned for specific times.
