Getting from DFW Airport to Fort Worth

We encourage attendees to ride the Trinity Rail Express from DFW Airport to downtown Fort Worth: see the public transit section of the airport's website (be sure to click on "TRE" at the top of the page.  The Omni Fort Worth Hotel is a short walk from the final station on westbound trains (T&P Station).

Alternatively, there are a number of ground transportation options on the airport's website.

Getting from Dallas Love Field (DAL) to Fort Worth

It's possible to take public transit from Dallas Love Field to Fort Worth, but travel time is over 90 minutes. However, door-to-door service is available through shared-ride (airport shuttle) services: see the "airport shuttle services" section of the parking/transportation page on the airport's website.

Lodging

Attendees of the 2018 Open Access Symposium have access to the discounted room block at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel for attendees of JCDL 2018, making it even easier to attend both conferences.  The room rate is $152 per night.

Rooms may be booked by calling 1-800-THE-OMNI and providing the group name "JCDL 18", or by booking online (no group name required when using this link).  Note that the room block covers June 2 to 8 despite what the online link says. Rooms must be booked by May 4.

We will arrange for transportation between the hotel and the symposium venue before the first event of the day and after the last event: details are forthcoming. Alternatively, you are welcome to take the the #2 (Camp Bowie) bus provided by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority: it runs between downtown and UNTHSC on a regular schedule.

Parking (for those driving from home)

Visitor parking is available on campus (more info).
