Transportation to SAMSI

A bus with a 'FODAVA' sign will pick up everyone at 7:45 am on Thursday and transport them to SAMSI. The bus will be able to hold all the participants. Additionally, the transport company has the ability to run a continuous shuttle service using smaller vans/SUVs between SAMSI and the airport, if needed after the event. We will post more information regarding this as soon as we find out.
