Public Transportation in Boston: Information about Boston’s subway system (called the T) can be found by accessing www.mbta.com.  Schedules and maps for the subway, bus system, and commuter rail are available at this website. 

Lodging:  The conference is taking place during the same weekend as the Head of the Charles, one of the world’s largest rowing events.  As a result, hotel prices in Boston are at a premium.  All conference attendees are advised to book their rooms early!
