FROM DOWNTOWN

If you are coming from the airport or Downtown Philly, then you will not take the PA Turnpike at all. The Turnpike will not be a concern. You will probably go North on the Schukyll Expressway and at King of Prussia, go to Rte 202 South. Pay attention to the lane directions at the merge-curve.

Or you will take the SEPTA train from 30th Street Station to the Malvern Train Station and tell us if you want to use the shuttle from the Malvern Train Stn AgilePhillyCoordinators@YahooGroups.com? Subject=Shuttle

DIRECTIONS FROM THE AIRPORT AREA . . . AND FOR PEOPLE FROM SOUTH JERSEY . . . AVOID THE PARKING LOT - PA TURNPIKE WESTBOUND in the MORNING

One option is to go I-95 North to the Schulkyll Expressway I-76 North to King of Prussia and then Rte 202 South.

From South Jersey, I prefer the Commodore Barry Bridge to Rte 322 North to Rte 202 North

     A security guard will be at the door to escort you to Auditorium A.

The historic Wanamaker Building takes up the entire block bounded by Market St., S. Juniper St., Chestnut St. and S. 13th St. (google map). The main level is taken up by Macy's. It's located across the street from City Hall.

Parking is available in numerous pay-garages both in the Wanamaker building and in the immediate vicinity of City Hall. The least expensive ($8 and $9) are on Sansom Street between 11th and 12th Streets. On-street parking is available for 2 hours on Chestnut Street (south of City Hall) and portions of Filbert Street and John F Kennedy Blvd (North of City Hall), though it can be difficult to find an open space.

If you don't want to risk the cost of garage parking or the possible traffic snarl around City Hall, park away from City Hall near a subway station and take the subway in ($1.30 each way via token; $2 each way using cash at the station entrance).

The nearest rail stations are (http://www.septa.org/maps.html):
Regional Rail: Market East and Suburban Stations
- Subway: Market-Frankford Line (13th St. station); Broad Street Line (Walnut-Locust or City Hall stations)
