How Will You Be Travelling to the Conference?
Posted by Stephen Balogh on April 26, 2006 - 10:56am in The Oil Drum: Local
A quick hello - I will be contributing to help cover the Local Solutions to the Energy Dilemma Conference. I am excited to post, after hanging out in the blogroll and lurking since shortly after the inception of the site. I look forward to bringing you an additional perspective of the conference and speakers.
The reason for the pre-conference post follows:
I announced that I was travelling to the conference on my personal blog a couple of weeks ago, and was promptly called-out by one of my readers.
I wonder how many people will drive 200 miles there in an SUV.
So, I promptly shelved the plans to drive the baloghmobile down there, and will be taking Amtrak tomorrow afternoon. I figured that it might be a good time to remind others to reconsider their transportation choice tomorrow if involves driving into the NY/NJ area. New York has an abundance of public transportation options.
Looking forward to what looks to be a great conference

I agree that the train is a good option from Syracuse, even as bad as Amtrak can be sometimes. Unfortunately there are many places that don't even have a link to the national passenger rail network. At a minimum, I hope people can carpool or find a park and ride near one of the many commuter rail stations circling NYC and then take MetroNorth, LIRR or NJ Transit into the city itself. You'll save a lot on parking in Manhattan.
I'll be biking to the conference or taking the subway. Not sure which yet.
