+# Local Transportation
+
+You are responsible for your own transportation within Madison, but we will help
+coordinate and can reimburse costs between the airport and your hotel.
+
+## Travel Between the Madison Airport and Your Hotel
+
+For travel between the Madison airport (Dane County Regional Airport) and the [School hotel](hotel.md),
+the best option is the hotel shuttle service, when available.
+Otherwise, you may use a ride-sharing service or taxi.
+See below for details.
+
+<span style="color: #FF6600;">We will help organize groups</span> to take shuttles and taxis,
+based on arrival and departure times.
+Shuttle/taxi groups will be formed and emailed shortly before the School itself.
+
+## Travel Between the Hotel and Campus
+
+For travel between the [School hotel](hotel.md) and [the Computer Sciences building](location.md) on campus,
+walking is a great option.
+Also, the hotel shuttle service may be available, especially if organized in advance.
+See below for details.
+
+## Options for Getting Around
+
+### Hotel Shuttle
+
+The [Park Hotel](hotel.md) operates a free shuttle service.
+The shuttle **may not be available** at all times, though, and it is best to plan ahead.
+Work with the hotel staff, individually or even better in groups, to use the shuttle.
+As noted above, we will help organize groups for the shuttle for airport arrivals on Sunday and departures on Saturday.
+
+To ask about the shuttle, either stop by the front desk of the hotel,
+or call +1&nbsp;(608)&nbsp;285-8000 and press 0 for the front desk.
+Explain that you are a guest at the hotel and ask if the shuttle is available for the number of people in your group;
+be clear about where you want to go from and to and at what time.
+
+We will send the hotel our list of groups who would like the shuttle for airport trips,
+but it is still best for the leader of each group to check with the hotel anyway.
+
+### Walking
+
+It is easy to walk in and around the University of Wisconsin&ndash;Madison campus,
+with many Madison landmarks within a mile of the School and your hotel.
+Use a mapping app or ask us or your hotel for a map.
+In particular, State Street&nbsp;&mdash; which connects the Capitol Square with the UW campus&nbsp;&mdash;
+is full of great restaurants and shops and is worth walking along while you are here.
+
+### City of Madison Metro Bus Service
+
+Many [Madison Metro](https://www.cityofmadison.com/metro) buses stop near the hotel and
+pass through the University of Wisconsin&ndash;Madison campus.
+Bus fare is $2.00, and if using a transfer ask the driver for a free transfer pass upon boarding.
+
+[Google Maps](https://maps.google.com) is a great resource for finding the best bus routes to use in Madison,
+giving multiple route options for each trip.
+Additionally, the [Madison Metro Website](https://www.cityofmadison.com/metro/routes-schedules)
+provides a web interface to plan your trip.
+
+!!! note 
+    Bus routes stop running around ~11pm each day.
+
+### Taxis and Ride-Sharing Services
+
+Both [Lyft](https://www.lyft.com/) and [Uber](https://www.uber.com/ride/) are active in Madison,
+or you can choose from our local taxi companies, including [Green Cab](https://greencabmadison.com), and
+[Union Cab](https://www.unioncab.com/).
+
+!!! note 
+    We cannot reimburse for any taxi or rideshare service beyond the ride to and from the airport.
+
+!!! note
+    We will need receipts for any taxi fare over $25.
+
+### Madison BCycle
+
+Madison is a great city to bike in,
+and there is even a short-term bike rental system called [BCycle](https://madison.bcycle.com).
+Bcycles are available [throughout the city](https://madison.bcycle.com/nav/map),
+including near the hotel and around campus.
+
+Pricing for Bcycles can be found on their 
+[website](https://madison.bcycle.com/nav/Join-now) and consist of several tiers.
+
+!!! note
+    Unfortunately, we are not able to reimburse BCycle costs.
