AIR: Cleveland, Akron and Pittsburgh airports are all within about a 1-1/2 hour drive of Youngstown. We are recommending Pittsburgh due to frequency of flights, but you should shop for best price. Pittsburgh is served by all major airlines and is a former hub for US Airways and US Airways/American West operates frequent flights at reasonable cost. Reservations may be made at www.usairways.com or 1-800-428-4322.

GROUND TRANSPORT: Shuttles will transport attendees from the Pittsburgh airport to Erie and Youngstown (10:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 5:00 p.m.), from Erie to Youngstown (Thursday), and from Youngstown to the Pittsburgh airport on Sunday (10:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 5:00 p.m.), but you must reserve a seat using the attached registration form.

TRAIN: Amtrak no longer serves Youngstown but does serve Pittsburgh and has one train per day going to Erie. For discounted group fares from Amtrak, use convention fares code X30L-966 for Pittsburgh or X29L-966 to Erie when making a reservation at 1-800-872-7245, at an Amtrak ticket counter, or with your travel agent. Convention fares cannot be booked online. Schedule and fare information is available at www.amtrak.com. The convention fare is 10% off the lowest available fare and is valid for travel from September 24 to October 5, 2006. Note that this discount cannot be combined with other discounts, such as senior fares. Shuttle buses will pick up at the Pittsburgh Amtrak station only for Youngstown-bound attendees who reserve a seat. There is also a return shuttle for Pittsburgh-bound attendees offered on Sunday who reserve a seat. Note: Everyone taking a shuttle must provide their travel information to us by September 13, 2006, due to airport policy concerning commercial shuttles and to provide those coming by train to Pittsburgh with the appropriate service. A reminder will be sent via e-mail, and a follow-up phone call will be made if we do not receive your information. We apologize for the inconvenience.
