There is one other large hotel, The Hyatt Regency, in the downtown area that is within walking distance of the Summit location. Other hotels in the greater New Brunswick area will require a car, Uber/Lyft, or some other form of transportation to reach our campus. 

Transportation: 

Summit Attendees should book flights to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR); this is the closest airport to our campus.  Flying into JFK, LaGuardia, or Philadelphia Airports is not recommended as there is no direct public transportation to Rutgers from these locations. 

New Jersey Transit Northeast Corridor provides direct train service to New Brunswick.  Upon arrival at the gate, follow signs to the AirTrain which will transport you to the NJ Transit Newark Liberty International Airport Station. Take a Northeast Corridor Train (red line) westbound (towards Trenton) to New Brunswick, about 25-30 minutes. The New Brunswick train station is located a short walk from the Heldrich Hotel and the New Brunswick campus. (no return) Pro-tip: If using the train, keep your train ticket with you after going through the turnstiles at the airport station; you will need to show it again on the train.

If you’d prefer to not take a train, taxi stands can be found outside each of the three terminals at Newark Airport.  There are also designated areas outside each terminal for Lyft and UBER pickups.
