Getting Around Ithaca
Walking
The Cascadilla Glen Trail runs between downtown Ithaca and Cornell. The
trail starts at the park near the intersection of Court St and University
Ave and ends adjacent to the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, close
to the College Ave bridge. Because of uneven terrain, following the trail
takes 5-10 minutes longer than using city streets.Shuttle Buses

Parking
Parking at Cornell can be tight, so consider staying at the dorm, which is adjacent to the meeting rooms, staying at the Holiday Inn downtown and walking (it's about a 25 minute walk including a healthy hill ...try the beautiful trail up through Cascadilla Glen, shown in the picture above), or taking advantage of the Shuttle buses.If you decide to drive, then from from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM Monday to Friday you will need to use a metered lot or obtain a parking permit. Evenings and weekends, parking is free and usually readily available. There are two permit options. One is to purchase a one-day parking permit from a visitor parking booth (there's one in front of Carpenter Library) for $8. This entitles you to park in any visitor parking spot. Alternatively, when you register for the conference, you may purchase a weekly permit for $12 that allows you to park in the C, K, Tier 1 and Tier 2 lots. Here is a Grand Unified parking map showing the location of lots available to holders of Visitor and weekly parking permits as well as the location of metered parking.
