Transportation:
Oxford is located between the airports of Greater Cincinnati to the south
and Dayton to the north. Each airport is about one hour away by car.
The Cincinnati airport is larger than Dayton and will handle most of the air
traffic to our area. (Cincinnati is a hub for Delta and Dayton is a hub for
USAir.) Cincinnati is also an international airport and provides direct
flights to England and several European cities. The main problem with
airport transportation is that there is no regularly scheduled shuttle
service between Oxford and the airports. For those participants renting a
car this is not a problem. The organizing committee will provide
airport shuttle service between Cincinnati/Dayton and Oxford during the
major arrival and departure times of the conference period. We will
need the
for registered participants wanting to have
shuttle service between these two airports and Oxford. If known, you may send this information
by e-mail to one of the conference organizers listed below. Details to be
arranged later. For those arriving in Oxford by car, visitor parking
permits are free and easily arranged for campus parking. You may wish to alert the organizers
if you are bringing a car.
