For those flying into Minneapolis, you can take the City Light Rail, which runs every 10-15 minutes, from the airport to the hotels. There is a rail stop 2 blocks away from the Radisson, the Marriott
and the Crowne Plaza, and 9 blocks from the Hyatt Regency Hotel. There is bus service available to connect to the Hyatt. Travel time is approximately 40 minutes and costs $1.75. After 10:30 p.m.,
trains run every 30-60 minutes. The city buses that run down Nicolette Mall Road go to the Hyatt and the convention center and are either free or cost $0.50 per ride.
Information about the light rail can be found here and a city travel planner can be found
here.
The NAIGC also has a discount with SuperShuttle for the event. The SuperShuttle picks up from Terminal 1 at the airport and will drop off at any of the 4 hotels. Rates are $15 per person plus $1 fuel
surcharge one way, or $24 per person plus $2 fuel surcharge round trip. To make SuperShuttle reservation with the NAIGC discount click

the airport. There will be an NAIGC sign at the SuperShuttle counter.
To get from the Marriott and Radisson Hotels to the convention center you can take the number 10 Bus. The bus stop is outside of Marshalls on the corner Nicolette and 7th.
Skyway Information:
The Minneapolis Skyway System is an interlinked collection of enclosed pedestrian footbridges that connects various buildings in Downtown Minneapolis, and will enable members to walk in a
climate-controlled environment from the Marriott and Radisson to the convention center. This route is approximately 0.8 miles and will take 10-15 minutes.
Because the Skyways are owned by individual buildings in Minneapolis, they do not have uniform opening and closing times. Most are open:
Monday-Friday, 6:30am-10:00pm
Saturday, 9:30am-8:00pm
Sunday, 12:00pm-6:00pm
Please note that based on these timings you may not be able to use the Skyway after late night sessions, to get to the annual meeting on Saturday morning, or after banquet on Saturday evening.
