TRANSPORT
Airport
The
closest airport is Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), which is
about 10 miles from downtown Baltimore. Driving time from the airport to the
university's Baltimore campuses is approximately 25 minutes. Transportation by
taxi from BWI to the university's Baltimore campuses generally costs between $25-$30. Depending on where you're going and how
much time you have, you may want to take the light rail directly from the
airport to Baltimore's Penn (train) Station. Light rail fare is approximately
$3 roundtrip. From Penn Station, you can catch the Hopkins shuttle bus which
will take you to the Homewood Campus, site of the Symposium.
