Parking<\/strong><\/td>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\nBecause parking is very limited in the area around the meeting and training site (Union South \/ SSEC; see Google<\/em> map<\/a>), we encourage you to travel to and from it by a means other than car. Options include walking (the three hotels in the Lodging and Transportation<\/em> section below are between 100 feet and 1.0 mile from Union South), using your hotel’s van\/limousine service, taxi, or using the Madison Metro<\/a> bus service (base fares are currently $2.00). If you must park, see the Google<\/em> map<\/a> for the locations of two suggested UW lots – 80 and 17 – and the UW Transportation Services Visitor Hourly parking page<\/a> for additional information (e.g., access, rates and payment methods) about those lots.http:\/\/transportation.wisc.edu\/parking\/visitor_hourly.aspx<\/p>\n
