Transportation Academy participants will not need rental cars, as AASCU will arrange transportation for any events away from the hotel.  There are two travel options from San Diego International Airport to the hotel: Taxi - A 20-minute ride at a cost of $40 to $45. Cloud 9 Shuttle - A longer ride due to other hotel dropoffs, at a cost of $29 per person.  Leaving the terminal, follow signs for “Transportation” and look for “Cloud 9 Shuttle.” We will arrange for shared taxis back to the airport on the morning of August 3.
