Washington D.C. Metro Map and Travel Information

Use either Metro Center (Red/Blue/Orange lines), or Gallery Pl-Chinatown (Yellow/Green lines) to reach the SC'94 Convention site.



Local Transportation

Transportation between Supercomputing '94 conference hotels and the Washington Convention Center is easy, using a combination of walking, the Metro, and taxicabs. The conference hotels in Washington, D.C., (see map) are located within walking distance of the Convention Center, while the Hyatt Arlington is conveniently located across the street from the Rosslyn, Virginia, Metro station. Taxi and bus service is available between downtown and each of the three area airports: Baltimore-Washington International Airport, Washington National Airport, and Washington-Dulles International Airport. There is also a Metro station at Washington National Airport. Since the Supercomputing '94 hotels are close to the convention center or Metro stations, and there is abundant public transportation, busing will not be provided for conference events.
