The nearest airport is San Jose Mineta ("SJC"). Distance to Sun Santa Clara Campus Bell Tower is 3 miles. San Francisco Airport ("SFO") is larger and be more accessible by air. It is about 45 miles north of the Bell Tower, but you can take the Caltrain shuttle down to Santa Clara or up to San Francisco. The Sunway shuttle stops at various caltrain stations near Santa Clara and Menlo Park. Bicycles are permitted on the caltrain and Sunway.

Stay tuned for a list of closeby hotels with favorable rates and shuttle bus availability
This is California. Public transportation is mostly nonexistant. You don't get anywhere without wheels. Therefore, we are working on attaching the SunWay shuttle fleet to help move willing groups of people to the selected evening events. We will make every attempt to minimize the need for having a car during this conference. Carpooling will figure large in this endeavor, so please indicate whether you will have seats available, or will need a seat during your stay here.
Update, Dec 13, 2005:
It looks like we will be able to provide Sunway Shuttle service for airport pickups, hotel sweeps, and evenings out. We do need headcount for these resources ASAP.
Feb 6,2006: Having received zero requests for ground transportation, this option is no longer being offered.
