Plant Gall Symposium Transportation & Accommodations
Chico is 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of Sacramento International Airport. The city of Chico does not have air service directly to our area, so we have arranged a shuttle bus to and from the Sacramento Airport.
From Sacramento Airport to Chico:
July 9 (tentative pick-up times 1 & 6 p.m.) July 10 (tentative pick-up time Noon)
From Chico to Sacramento Airport:
July 15 (tentative departure times 10 a.m. & Noon)
When you complete your symposium registration, indicate you are interested in the airport shuttle bus and we will send you more information. If you choose to rent a car, it is an easy 90-minute drive to Chico.
You can also fly into Oakland or San Francisco International Airports, both of which are three hours south of Chico. You will need to provide your own transportation.
Accommodations
On-Campus Residence Halls
Space is limited and will be assigned on a first- come, first-served basis. Single rooms include sheets, towel, and hot breakfast daily. Rooms have shared bathrooms and are very basic.
