If you are flying into Baltimore Washington International airport
   (BWI) to attend the NPA Conference, and you are seeking the most
   cost-effective public ground transportation option to get to the
   University of Maryland Campus from the airport, here is what to do:
   From BWI Marshall Airport, catch the WMATA's BWI Metro Express bus
   (#B30) to the WMATA Metro "Greenbelt" station. There are two WMATA Bus
   stops at BWI airport. One is located on the lower level of the
   International Concourse and the other stop is located on the lower
   level of Concourse A/B. The B30 will pick you up outside at the bus
   shelter. Follow the signs that say "Public Transit". The BWI Metro
   Express (#B30) fare between BWI and the Metro Greenbelt Station is $6
   one-way and the trip takes roughly 30 minutes. Click this link if you
   wish to see the B30 bus route and timetables
   The Metro "Greenbelt" station is the northeastern-most end-of-the-line
   station on the Metro Rail's "Greenline", and the very next inbound
   station on the "Greenline" is your destination, which is the "College
   Park/University of MD" station, so get off the Metro train at this
   station. From the "College Park/University of MD" Metro station you
   will need to catch the UMD shuttle bus ( it is actually operated by
   the University, not WMATA). The UMD bus is the #104, and it runs every
   10 minutes between the UMD campus and the College Park/University of
   Maryland Metro station from 6:00am until 8:00pm, then every 20 minutes
   thereafter until 1:00am. The UMD shuttle bus is free. The UMD #104
   will stop out in front of the UMD's STAMP Student Center where the
   Conference is being held. It is only about a 5 minute walk to the
   Queen Anne dorm building from the bus stop.
   Should you have any questions about this local ground transportation
   option, just give me a call. Or you can reach the UMD STAMP Student
   Center help desk from 6:00am until 11:00pm at (301) 314-3375. I have
   found that they are pretty knowledgeable about local stuff and very
   helpful.
