CU Campus Parking

We recommend that attendees take advantage of the scheduled shuttles that will run between the Folsom Stadium Club and the Boulderado and St. Julien Hotel. The Millenium Harvest House Hotel is within easy walking distance of the stadium. If you have a specific need to park on campus, Lot 436 at the corner of Colorado and Regent will be available for conference parking by permit only. Three-day permits are available for pickup on a first-come, first-served basis from 7 AM to 10:30 AM on Wednesday November 1 from the Parking Attendant at the entrance to Lot 436. There are only 30 permits available, so it is recommended that you arrive early if you plan on parking in Lot 436. These permits are provided at no charge to conference attendees; please inform the attendant that you are attending ACM SenSys. Cars will be ticketed if a permit is not properly displayed or if you park in any other lot. A second option is that there are some pay lots available not too far away from the stadium, costing $1.25 per hour between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday. You can pay for up to 10 hours to a machine that accepts credit cards and cash. These are Lots 440 (north of the Events Center), 448 (south of the ITLL Building) and 437 (north of the ITLL Building), see locations at Lot 436 and nearby parking lots and Campus parking map. A third option is metered parking, e.g. Lot , but you'll have to go out and feed the meter. See Visitor Parking Options for more information.

Information about meters, self-pay lots, and the Euclid Autopark can be found on the CU Parking & Transporation Services Website.

Conference Bus Shuttle Transportation

Conference bus shuttle service will be provided between the three conference hotels and all of the SenSys venue sites, including the workshops at NCAR, the Folsom Stadium Club (main conference), and the dinner banquet at the Walnut Brewery. The bus will follow a circular route, rotating through the 3 hotels and the various venue sites during the times indicated. There will usually only be one bus, at times two, so catch it early to avoid capacity issues. The buses will either be Gold Buff or white buses, and should be clearly labeled "ACM SenSys". The bus shuttle schedule is as follows:

For the main conference, the shuttles each morning will start at the St. Julien, then Boulderado and then Millennium going to the Stadium Club. The shuttles will run approximately every 25 minutes only during the times listed above. Return from the Stadium Club will go to the Millennium, Boulderado, St Julien with the same approximate time of 25 minutes intervals, only during the times listed above. Time will depend on traffic and weather. For the workshops, the shuttles will run between the three hotels and the NCAR Mesa Lab every 30-35 minutes only during the times listed above.

If you'd prefer to walk to the main conference site at the football stadium, attendees at the Millenium are only about 5 minutes away, while attendees at the Boulderado and St Julien can take a 20-25 minute walk by going south along Broadway until you hit Boulder Creek, then take the Boulder Creek Bike Path east to Folsom Street, followed by a short walk uphill heading south.

Workshop Parking

There is a substantial amount of public parking at NCAR's Mesa Lab, which should be sufficient for workshop attendees.
