VENDORS NOTE: If you have a larger delivery vehicle, contact Allan Guthmiller (vendor@rtmcastronomyexpo.org) as soon as possible so that loading, temporary parking, and remote parking can be worked out for the vehicle.

CAMPING/RV

There is no nearby parking or facilities for large vehicles. The nearest camping appears to be in Pomona, some 29 miles away at a KOA. This is at 2200 N White Ave, Pomona, CA, 91768. 909 593 8915.

AIR TRANSPORTATION

Burbank is the closest airport, followed by LA International and Ontario. Shuttles connect most Pasadena hotels to LAX and Burbank (for a fee). In addition to hotel airport shuttles public transportation can get you back and forth with a bit more time and a lot less money.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

The Del Mar station on the Metro Gold line is about four blocks from the Conference Center. Connections can be made (through transfers, including bus and Metrolink trains) to LAX and  Burbank airports, and much of the LA basin. Buses and the Metrolink can also be utilized. Activities, lodging, restaurants, shopping, and all will be fairly concentrated in the convention center area.  So, one can use public transportation and forego the rental car.
