*Please note when using online or GPS mapping system, use 30 East Normal Avenue, Montclair (directly across the entrance to the Conference Center) as your destination.
Getting there by plane:
We strongly recommend that you arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport, since it is the closest airport to the conference. Arrival at LaGuardia or JFK in New York will require a much lengthier drive to campus.
From the airport, take the New Jersey Transit bus No. 62 to PENN Station in Newark. When you arrive at PENN Station in Newark, take bus No. 28 of New Jersey Transit to Montclair. This bus will take you directly to Montclair State University. You may also take a taxi from the airport.
Getting there by train/bus:
Montclair State University is located close to two train stations on the New Jersey Transit Rail - the Montclair Heights train station and the Montclair State University train station. The MidTOWN DIRECT from Penn Station in New York City, also stops at Montclair State University.
There are also several bus options from New Jersey and New York City.
