Directions and Transportation
New Haven is easily reached by train, either via Amtrak from New York or Boston, via Metro North service from New York, or by local Connecticut Shoreline East Commuter Train Service within the state of Connecticut. Trains leave approximately hourly to/from New York during the week (much more frequently during commuter time, and every one-two hours on weekends) and approximately every one-two hours to/from Boston. Amtrak's new high speed rail service, Acela, between Washington and Boston uniformily stops in New Haven. Travel on the Acela from New Haven to Boston takes less than 2 hours, to New York about 1-1/2 hours, and to Washington about 4 hours . There are two train stations in New Haven, the main stop for all trains is at Union Station and there is a second stop a bit closer to the downtown area at State Street which only select trains stop at. Although Union Station is located relatively close to the medical campus, it is easy to get lost if you do not know the way and so a taxi or Yale shuttle ride is recommended. There are three major alternatives for air service to/from New Haven. Tweed-New Haven airport (HVN is the airport code) is located 5 minutes from downtown (directly off I-95 at exit 50 if going north on I-95 or exit 51 if going south) and is serviced directly by U.S. Airways and Pan Am Clipper (see Tweed website listed below for more details). Both airlines have frequent flights to their respective hubs - this represents the most convenient approach to New Haven. Bradley International in Hartford (BDL) is a major international airport accommodating all major airlines (including the economy airlines such as Southwest) and with direct flights to all major cities. It is located about 40 miles north from New Haven and may be reached either by car or by Connecticut Limousine's Shuttle service. Bradley is also an extremely easy airport to use. Alternatively, one can use any of the three New York City airports (LaGuardia, JFK or Newark) and take the Connecticut Limo shuttle to New Haven or the Prime Time Shuttle. It's a little over 2 hours on the shuttle from LaGuardia or Kennedy; more from Newark. Amtrak also has direct service by train to/from Newark Airport to New Haven.

To get to the medical school campus by car (which is about three blocks
south of the main campus), take exit 1 off I-91 or exit 47 off I-95
onto the "Route 34 Connector". If you get off the Connector at its
last exit (exit 3) you can stay to your immediate left and make the
first left turn directly into the "Air Rights" parking garage. The
Air Rights parking garage is located above York Street between North
and South Frontage Roads. Maps and directions may be found on the
Hospital Web site
