TAXIS
TO & FROM THE CONFERENCE CONFERENCE SHUTTLE SERVICE
The University of Hawai‘i at Manoa campus is located about 3 miles away from Waikiki, the main hotel area. For the convenience of conference attendees staying at the Ocean Resort (OR) and Queen Kapi‘olani (QK) hotels, we will be providing shuttle service to the Imin Center (IC) as follows: Thursday, March 12 morning: 7:30am pick-up (OR→QK→IC) & 8:00am pick-up (OR→QK→IC) evening: 7:45pm pick-up (IC→OR →QK) Friday, March 13 morning: 8:00am pick-up (OR→QK→IC) & 8:30am pick-up (OR→QK→IC) evening: 8:45pm pick-up (IC→OR →QK) Saturday, March 14 morning: 8:00am pick-up (OR→QK→IC) & 8:30am pick-up (OR→QK→IC) evening: 5:15pm pick-up (IC→OR →QK) The buses are “sunflower yellow” and have “Roberts Hawai‘i School Bus” written on the side. Please be waiting near the street in front of the building at least five minutes before pick-up time to ensure that you don’t miss your bus. These shuttle routes are one-way and fixed. If you desire to go to the Imin Center or your hotel at a time other than indicated above, you will be on your own for transportation . TIP: Don’t wait till the last minute! If you are planning to go to (or present in) an early morning session, we recommend that you try for the earliest shuttle bus in case there are delays because of traffic. DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO UH MANOA From Waikiki, UH Manoa is about a 10-minute drive. Turn off of Kuhio Avenue onto Ala Wai Blvd (one-way), which runs along the Ala Wai Canal. Turn right on McCully Street (it will take you over a bridge that spans the Ala Wai Canal). Turn right at the first signal onto Kapiolani Avenue. A few blocks down, turn left at the signal onto University Avenue and keep heading up the street (toward the mountains) until you cross under the H-1 Highway overpass. Turn right at the first signal onto Dole Street. Then . . . To park in the 5-story parking structure ($3 a day) on lower campus,
turn right off of Dole Street at the first traffic light (onto Lower
Campus Rd). There is plenty of space in the parking structure, and it
serves as a good option. The conference venue is about a 5-10 minute
walk from the parking structure.
To park next to the Imin Center (aka Jefferson Hall), you will need to obtain a special parking pass ($4 a day) in advance (no later than February 28, 2008). Please contact Jim Yoshioka
at the NFLRC for more information. If you have your special parking
pass, turn left off of Dole at the third traffic light onto East-West
Road. When you come to the entrance kiosk, show your pass to the
parking guard and proceed forward for about a block. Park in the grassy
area to the left of the Imin Center. (Do NOT park in front of the Imin
Center itself).
GETTING AROUND HONOLULU & THE ISLAND OF O‘AHU THE BUS O‘ahu's bus system, logically dubbed "TheBUS," offers island-wide service. The cost for a one-way fare is $2 for adults and $1 for elementary and high school students; exact change is appreciated. People carrying large suitcases or baggage are not allowed on TheBUS. Riders are allowed to transfer to any connecting line as long as it is going in the same general direction. Request a transfer slip from the bus driver when you board the bus. A $20 Oahu Discovery Passport (good for 4 consecutive days) can be bought from ABC Stores in Waikiki and the Ala Moana Shopping Center and from the Bus Pass Office. This may be a good option for attendees relying on the bus for transportation during the conference.
