Transportation
Salisbury is near the center of the Delmarva Peninsula, at the junction of U.S. Route 50 (east-west) and U.S. Route 13 (north-south). Salisbury University is on the south side of the city on U.S. 13 Business.
Flying
The Salisbury-Wicomico Regional Airport is served by American Airlines, with flights connecting from Philadelphia or Charlotte. Many people visiting Salisbury choose to fly into Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport, which has many airlines and generally good rates. From there, you can either rent a car and drive to Salisbury (about 2.5 hours) or take the BayRunner Shuttle (which goes to its office in Salisbury, not to hotels or individual addresses; in 2024, the one-way cost is $89 for one person).
Shuttle
For those who don’t have cars, we anticipate providing a shuttle from the Hampton Inn in Fruitland to and from campus on 9/15. Field trip vans will pick up and drop off at the Hampton Inn.
Driving
For directions to campus, visit the Salisbury University website.
Parking on Campus
We anticipate having a conference visitors’ parking permit that we can email to you, but we can’t guarantee that will be the case. If we don’t have a conference permit, visitors parking on campus will need individual parking passes, which are free. They can be obtained online through the Salisbury University parking website, but you need to register ahead of time in order for the Parking Services office to email them to you to print out.
Dining
There are many places to eat within several blocks of campus and around Salisbury and Fruitland, including many typical college-town restaurants (pizza, subs, bar food, fast food) but also some very good restaurants. You may want to check out TripAdvisor or Yelp for specific recommendations. On campus, dining is available at the (Dining) Commons and several other locations, including the Guerrieri Student Union, which has a Chick-fil-A. You may find more information at the Dining Services website.
