Hotel, Transportation and Map
If you are arriving at the Mitchell Field International Airport in Milwaukee, there are several ways to get to downtown.
There is a shuttle service, Limousine Services, (414) 769-2444, which leaves from the airport drive between baggage claim areas 2 & 3. During most hours, there will be someone there to direct you to the shuttle; during off hours, there is a phone you can use to call the shuttle. This shuttle costs $9.50 to downtown ($18 roundtrip) and departs roughly every 20 minutes from the airport. Reservations are not needed to travel from the airport to your hotel; however, they may be needed for the return trip. The shuttle leaves downtown hotels for the airport roughly every 30 minutes. If you plan to take the shuttle to or from UWM, the location of the conference is the EMS (Engineering & Math Sciences) building at 3200 N. Cramer St. (at the corner of Cramer & Hampshire). We recommend making reservations if you will take the shuttle from UWM to the airport.
There are several taxicab companies in Milwaukee. There are cabs waiting to pick up passengers at the airport; you may wish to make reservations for your return to the airport. Three cab companies are City Veteran Cab, (414)384-8294 or (414)291-8080; Yellow Cab, (414)271-1800; Checker Taxi, (414)438-1638. Others can be found in the phone book. The cost of a trip from the airport to downtown is roughly $20 + tip; the policy on extra passengers varies. (For example, Yellow Cab quoted a flat rate of $15 to downtown plus $.50 for each extra passenger; it would be wise to confirm any rate with the driver.) It has been suggested that for 3 (or even 2) or more passengers, a cab may be a better option than the shuttle.
Park East Hotel has shuttle bus service around downtown area, contact the hotel.
