Travel from the Airports and to George Mason University from the Comfort Inn

From BWI you can take Marc or Amtrac to Union Station or you can take the Metrobus route B30 express service between Metrorail's Greenbelt Station and BWI Airport.  Once you get to the Metro, you take that to Vienna.  There is more information about that below.  Full fare for a one-way trip on the bus is $6.00. See Metro's B30 Time table and other information here: Brochure http://www.wmata.com/bus/b30_brochure.cfm  Schedule  http://www.wmata.com/bus/b30_brochure.cfm

The Ronald Regan National Airport has a Metro station.  Take the Metro to the Vienna Metro Station at the end of the Orange Line.

From the Dulles Airport, take the Washington Flyer Coach (Bus) Service to the Falls Church Metro Station.  The schedule is here: http://www.washfly.com/flyer_bus_schedule.htm

It is $10 on way or $18 round trip.  From the Falls Church Station, you can take the orange line to the Vienna Station.

More information about travel to and from the airports can be found here: http://www.commuterpage.com/metroconnect.htm

The Vienna Metro Station is on the Orange Line.   The George Mason Shuttle is free and should run on the hour and half hour from the North side of the Vienna  station in the summer which this will be. http://shuttle.gmu.edu/masontometro.html  At the Vienna Metro station there are taxi stands; if no taxi, call 703-883-0199 (Fairfax Yellow Cab-North side of station) or 703-943-4444 (Red Top Cab.)

If you take the shuttle, get off at the Shenandoah (formerly Sandy Creek) Parking Deck (#43 on map) and use the map to get from there  to meeting which will be held in The Hub (the old Student Union II) , which is #56 on the map.  

Should you decide to drive, the Shenandoah (formerly Sandy Creek) Parking Deck  (#43 in purple on the maps)is the most convenient to the meeting.  The meeting is on the top floor of the "The Hub" (formerly Student Union II where we met in 2011) , which is #56 in red on the maps.    Parking is $14 a day at any of the garages on campus BUT you may need to have a special permit to be able to use the garages.  Nancy Anthracite will find out closer to the time of the meeting.   

If you are going to be staying in the Comfort Inn, you can take the Gold Cue Bus from the North Side of the Vienna Metro Station for $1.80 (cash) or $1.60 with a SmartTrip card.  There is shuttle bus service from the hotel to the campus so you could also take the shuttle and then call the hotel for pickup from the campus, (703) 591-5900. Schedule a ride and reserve a seat on the shuttle at the Comfort Inn front desk.

About the 27th VistA Community Meeting

The goal of VistA Community Meetings is for those involved in the VistA Community to network & collaborate, i.e., to share ideas and work, with the objective of moving VistA & the VistA community forward. 

Compared to most meetings, VistA Community Meetings are relatively unstructured.  The agenda is always a "living" agenda, because attendees are free to change it – even during the meeting – in order to  better meet their objectives. VistA Community Meetings were originally almost exclusively technical meetings.  Over time, the balance shifted, so that although there are technical presentations, there are more discussions on other aspects, including implementation, support, demonstration, education, training, and community collaboration.
