How to get here:

Rail: New Haven is highly accessible by rail given its location on Amtrak, Metro-North, and CTrail. New Haven is just under a two hour train ride from NYC (Metro-North round trip is around $40) and just over two hours from Boston ($75). Union Station and State Street Station are both less than a mile from the Omni New Haven.

Flying: For folks flying to the conference, there are a wide array of options:

  • Tweed Airport in New Haven has expanded (but still limited) service.
  • Bradley International Airport, closer to Hartford, has a free shuttle connection to the Hartford Line to New Haven, which takes about an hour.
  • Attendees can also opt to fly into New York City area airports where rail connections are available, including flying into White Plains or Newark where you can connect directly to Amtrak.

Bus: New Haven also has many bus services – for those local in Connecticut, check out CT Transit connections and for those coming out of state, consider Greyhound or Flixbus options.

Bike: Bikes are allowed on MetroNorth and Amtrak trains and most CT Transit buses. Checkout the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail if you want to bike right into New Haven from points north of the city. There is bike parking available near the Omni and around the city. Stay tuned for details about how to leverage Bike New Haven, the new bike share program run by YT partner Park New Haven.

Planning on driving? Whether you’re local or traveling further away, consider taking public transportation! Parking at the Omni is limited, but Park New Haven has multiple options.
