Option 1: Shuttle
If you are staying at the Stanford Terrace Inn or the Cardinal hotel:
Marguerite Shuttle A and B lines will be available every 15 minutes at the Palo Alto Caltrain station for the people who are staying at the Cardinal Hotel. For those who are staying at Stanford Terrace Inn, the hotel shuttle bus will be available or you may take the Marguerite Line A which stops 100 yards away from Stanford Terrace Inn to take you to the CISX and Ginzton Lab. Marguerite runs all day from 6:00 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. After hours, Marguerite Midnight Express Shuttle is available every 30 minutes.

Schedule
If you are staying at the Creekside Inn:
They offer a complimentary shuttle within a 5 mile radius (the individual has to schedule a time).
Option 2: Driving to campus
In case you decide to drive to campus, you will receive permits and a map for parking prior to the meeting. You will have to scratch off the date of parking on a permit and and hang it on your rear view mirror.
Since the number of parking spaces on the Stanford campus is severely limited and some parking lots around Ginzton and CIS are closed due to construction, we recommend that you could leave your car at the hotel. The following web sites contain Stanford parking maps:
Ginzton Labs area Parking (please note that lots A and C are closed due to construction. Parking structure 2 is closest to Ginzton.)
If you have any additional questions regarding the logistics of the meeting and/or need help with registration, hotels etc, please contact Ingrid Tarien (administrative associate for Jelena Vuckovic)
