Local Public Transportation
The Greensboro Transit Agency operates fixed route bus service on Mondays through Fridays, 5 am to 11:30 pm. The GTA bus service provides access to downtown Greensboro for $1.50 fare. Payment can be made in cash or through a preloaded GTA fare card. The Sheraton Greensboro is nearest to the W Gate City/Koury stop with access to the Gate City Boulevard route. All GTA vehicles are equipped with "kneeling" bus technology that allows the vehicle operator to lower and raise the vehicle entrance to accommodate senior citizens and riders with disabilities. Ask your operator about the availability of this feature as you board your bus. Trained guide and service animals are allowed on GTA buses, and many GTA buses are equipped with bike storage racks. More information, including route maps and live schedule updates, can be found on the GTA website here.

The temperature in conference facilities and training rooms is difficult to control. Please dress accordingly. Take a look at last year’s Facebook album to get an idea of what many attendees will wear to this event.
