Between SAN airport and La Jolla / Del Mar:
There are no great public transportation options between SAN airport and La Jolla or Del Mar. We highly recommend you use Uber or Lyft (which are also much cheaper than a taxi).
If you strongly desire to use public transportation, please use Google Maps to search for routes between SAN and your lodging destination.
Between workshop hotels and UCSD:
Participants are highly discouraged from driving a car to the UCSD campus. If you stay at the Best Western Del Mar you can take the #101 bus which stops a block or two from the hotel and from the workshop venue, or use the hotel shuttle. From downtown La Jolla, you can take the #30 bus. Day passes can be purchased for $5 on the SDMTS app on your smartphone. (https://www.sdmts.com/fares-passes/compass-cloud). [warning: do not activate your purchased day pass until the day you intend to use it.] Alternatively, you can pay cash for single rides — $1.75 for #101 or $2.25 for #30. Note that the bus driver does not have change.
Participants are highly discouraged from attempting to park a car at the UCSD campus. The current parking fee is $30/day. The good news is that the conference is during spring break, so you can actually find a parking spot if you buy a parking permit.
