Travel and Accommodations
Nearest Airport is Detroit Metro (DTW), about 20 minutes from Ypsilanti. There is a shuttle that runs between the airport and Ann Arbor. It is not easy travel from the airport to Ypsilanti however, so renting a car is the best bet. If you let us know that you are coming, we can help folks team up to rent together. A taxi will cost about $50.00. We may also be able to run a shuttle for you depending on when you arrive. So let us know your estimated time of arrival and we’ll do our best to coordinate rides.
Train: Amtrak goes to Ann Arbor, which is about 8 miles away. You could take a cab from there to Ypsilanti for about $10. VIA Rail goes to Windsor, ON, which is about an hour from Ypsilanti. Cabs and busses are available or we might arrange a pick up.
Hotel Accommodations:
Bed and Breakfasts (these are walkable to campus and on the bus line):
Air BnB: Several options within walking distance to campus and downtown Ypsi: Check out Ypsi BnB's here
Couchsurfing: In the spirit of EcoJustice activism and community, conference-goers may want to consider staying with a local resident of Ypsilanti or the surrounding area through couchsurfing. Couchsurfing is a free, worldwide hosting community allowing travelers to meet locals, stay with them for free, save on resources, and participate in cultural exchange. It is a great way to live out the values of EcoJustice conservation and building community ties. See more at www.couchsurfing.org We know of folks at the UM willing to host conference participants. Let us know if you're interested! [email protected]
Possible Alternative Housing: We may be able to arrange guest housing with our graduate students and friends of EcoJustice. Contact Rebecca Martusewicz [email protected] if you are interested in exploring that option.
