Local Transportation and Weather

Housing

Preliminary Agenda

OSU is located in Columbus, Ohio, site of the next APS Spring Meeting, and largest city in Ohio

Local weather for Columbus.

Port Columbus International Airport, including numbers for rental cars.

Some neat browsable maps:

The road in red on these maps called "Moody Jackson Parkway" is usually called "315".

Local Map to Holiday Inn

How to get here

• If you are staying at the Campus Holiday Inn or at the Fawcett Center,
  there are a free shuttles to/from the Airport. It is probably best to call them to make sure it is there for you.

• If you rent a car at the Airport:
  • Get directions from the car rental folks!! - The roads are under construction right now, and they will know the latest.

• From the Cleveland/Kent Area:
  • Take I-71 South to Columbus.
  • In Columbus, take I-270 West.
  • Take 315 South and exit 315 at signs for The Ohio State University or Lane Avenue.
  • Turn left onto Lane. To get to the Fawcett Center, make a left onto Olentangy River Road (before the river). To get to the Holiday Inn, stay on Lane over the river; it is on the left. Look on the maps.

• From Long Island, probably the best way is:
  • Take 80 W to Youngstown (OH), where you get on 76 W.
  • After Akron, you get on 71 South, which you take to Columbus.
  • In Columbus, take I-270 West.
  • Take 315 South and exit 315 at signs for The Ohio State University or Lane Avenue.
  • Turn left onto Lane. To get to the Fawcett Center, make a left onto Olentangy River Road (before the river). To get to the Holiday Inn, stay on Lane over the river; it is on the left. Look on the maps.
