For those of you visiting from out of town, here are some notes on getting to UBC by car and by transit.

By public transit
The following bus routes will get you to UBC: #4, 9, 17, 25, 41, 43, 44, 49, 84, 99, 258 and 480. Please visit the Translink Web site for schedule information. Keep in mind that some routes operate only during peak periods. Note especially that the #44 Express from downtown Vancouver operates on weekdays only. Also note that diesel buses and trolley buses stop at different bus loops on campus. Depending on your route, the trip will take between 30 and 40 minutes from downtown Vancouver.

If you are coming from downtown on Saturday morning your best bet is hopping on the #4 or the #17 along Howe St.

By car
To reach UBC by car, drive westbound along Northwest Marine Drive, 4th Avenue, 10th Avenue, 16th Avenue, or 41st Avenue. Please visit UBC Parking for information about parking on campus and rates. The closest parking garage to the conference location is the Rose Garden Parkade. For more detailed driving directions check the UBC Trek Web site. From downtown Vancouver, it is about a 20-minute drive to UBC.

The Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies is located within the University Centre at 6331 Crescent Road, as indicated on the map. This is right next to the Rose Garden Parkade and The School of Journalism is just across the road.
