LBNL Shuttle Buses Serving the Downtown and Campus Area
Parking at LBNL is very limited (those staying at the Guest House will find parking spaces near it). Especially if you are staying offsite, consider taking BART or other public transit from the airport and then the LBNL shuttle bus to the meeting venue. Here you can find general information and the routes and schedules for the LBNL shuttle buses.
These shuttle buses are free to IDSM01 attendees (bring your invitation letter and identification).
LBNL shuttle arrivals can be estimated with NextBus by putting in your route and stop (the pre-fill here is for the stop nearest to BART of the Blue route, headed uphill toward the Lab).
