Directions to Stony Brook University Directions to the campus can be found on the Stony Brook University website (http://www.stonybrook.edu/sb/directions.shtml) Rail Road If one is traveling by train from Penn Station (LIRR, Long Island Rail Road), please note that there are **two** rail lines useful for getting to I-CON 2004. Port Jefferson Rail Road Line The Port Jefferson rail road line will get you directly to Stony Brook University (SBU) campus at the penultimate stop, Stony Brook. This is where I-CON 2004 is held, and as soon as one walks off the south side of the **Stony Brook** train platform one is on campus. See below for LIRR group discounts. Limited Shuttle bus service from the official hotel, the Holiday Inn Ronkonkoma, to/from campus will be provided. The hours of operation of the SBU/official hotel shuttle are to be announced. Shuttle service to other hotels is not currently available. The Ronkonkoma Railroad Line and the Islip/MacArthur Airport Islip/MacArthur Airport and/or the Ronkonkoma railroad line will get you close to the official convention hotel, the Holiday Inn Ronkonkoma (this is NOT the Holiday Inn Express in Stony Brook which is NOT the official hotel). If one arrives at Islip/MacArthur Airport or the Ronkonkoma train station and is staying at the official convention hotel, the Holiday Inn Ronkonkoma operates a complimentary Area Shuttle within a 3 MI radius of the hotel between the hours of 5am to 1am, and one has to call the hotel (631-585-9500, Eileen) to be picked up either at the Islip/MacArthur Airport (usually close to baggage claim) or on the south side of Ronkonkoma tracks (where the big parking lot is). This is convenient for getting to the official hotel from either the Islip/MacArthur Airport (1 MI/ 1.61 KM) or the Ronkonkoma railroad station (2 MI/ 3.22 KM), but leaves one taking another shuttle to the convention (see above). Islip/MacArthur Airport Taxi Options If one arrives at the Islip/MacArthur Airport at a time when the Holiday Inn Ronkonkoma's LIRR/Airport shuttle is not operating there is a Taxi Stand at the airport that costs $20 to the official hotel; however, Danny from Sunset Taxi, 631-588-5558, charges only $8 for the first person and $1 each additional person for a ride from the Islip/MacArthur Airport to the Holiday Inn Ronkonkoma (and $16-$18 to Stony Brook University). Ronkonkoma Train Station Taxi Options If one arrives at the Ronkonkoma train station at a time when
the Holiday Inn Ronkonkoma's LIRR/Airport shuttle is not operating
there is a Taxi Stand by the pizza shop on the north side of
the tracks also run by Danny from Sunset Taxi 631-588-5558
(again
$8 for the first person and $1 each additional person for a
ride from the Ronkonkoma station to the Holiday Inn Ronkonkoma;
$16-$18
to Stony Brook University). LIRR Discounts If a group of people takes the LIRR (train) to/from Penn to either Stony Brook or Ronkonkoma train station, there is a ten trip discount ticket from zone one (off-peak). It is called a "ten trip". It has ten tickets which can be used by an individual or group for not surprisingly any combination of ten trips between the two zones. The off-peak ten-trip price to Ronkonkoma is $12 cheaper than ten one way or round trip off-peak tickets (either way). The off-peak ten-trip price to Stony Brook is $12 cheaper than ten one way or round trip tickets (either way). (See http://lirr42.mta.info/Fares.asp for prices, and http://mta.info/lirr/pubs/TicketInfo.htm for details.) From http://mta.info/lirr/pubs/TicketInfo.htm |
