I can’t even begin to tell you how insanely accessible the location is for the COCRA Spring Conference at the Westfield San Francisco Center. So accessible that at our 2008 Spring Conference I was pleasantly surprised when I met a group of officials who had flown up from the Los Angeles area for the day. The group had flown into San Francisco International and then walked over to the BART station and took the train into the city and got off at the BART station located in the San Francisco Center. Now if this group of intrepid reporters were able to find their way from LA, what’s the excuse for those of you in the Bay Area?
Here are a couple directions and tips on parking for those of you planning on attending COCRA’s Spring Conference this Saturday April 4th at the SFSU Campus at 835 Market Street between Fourth and Fifth Streets.
PLANES
Those of you planning on flying in for the day or the weekend will be coming in either through San Francisco International or Oakland. If you’ve got the money, you could catch a cab. But if you plan on taking BART, here are some directions from the airport websites.
San Francisco International
BART operates rapid rail service to northern San Mateo County, San Francisco and the East Bay directly from SFO. The SFO BART Station is located on the Departures/Ticketing Level of the International Terminal (Boarding Area G side). BART is easily accessed from any terminal by riding SFO’s AirTrain to the Garage G/BART Station stop. There is no charge to board AirTrain. BART provides a connection to Caltrain at the Millbrae station.
Oakland International
AirBART operates between OAK and the BART Coliseum/Oakland Airport station daily, approximately every 10 minutes, until midnight. Service begins at 5 a.m., Monday through Saturday, and at 8 a.m. on Sundays and holidays. There is a single shuttle stop for both terminals, conveniently located between Terminal 1 and 2 at OAK’s third curbside.
