Route and Schedule Information: (808) 848-5555. Website: http://www.thebus.org
O'ahu's bus system, logically dubbed "TheBUS," offers island-wide service. The cost for a one-way fare is $1.50 for adults and $ .75 for elementary and high school students; exact change is appreciated; dollar bills are accepted, but no change is given. People carrying large suitcases or baggage are not allowed on TheBUS. Riders are allowed to transfer to any connecting line as long as it is going in the same general direction. Request a transfer slip from the bus driver when you board the bus.

A $15 Visitor Pass (good for 4 consecutive days) can be bought from ABC Stores in Waikiki and the Ala Moana Shopping Center and from the Bus Pass Office. This may be a good option for = attendees relying on the bus for transportation during the conference.

DIRECTIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MANOA (AND THE EAST-WEST CENTER RESIDENCE HALLS)
The University of Hawai'i at Manoa campus is a 20-minute drive from the Honolulu International Airport. Take H-1 east for approximately 15 minutes (non-rush hour). Then take the University Avenue (24B) exit. The exit ramp takes you onto University Avenue, from which you will take your first right at the light onto Dole Street.

• To park in the parking structure ($3 a day) on lower campus, turn right off of Dole at the first traffic light (onto Lower Campus Rd). There is plenty of space in the parking structure and it serves as a good option, especially on weekdays. The Imin Conference Center is about a 5-10 minute walk from the parking structure.
• To park on upper campus, turn left off of Dole at the third traffic light onto East-West Road. There is very limited visitor parking ($3 a day) behind Kennedy Theater on weekdays. On weekends, however, there tends to be plenty of space and more available lots. Ask the parking guard at the entrance kiosk where to park when purchasing a parking pass.

For those of you who reserve rooms in one of the East-West Center's three residence halls, Hale Manoa, Hale Kuahine, and Lincoln Hall are all conveniently located on East-West Road on Upper Campus: you will not miss the new stone signs along East-West Road which clearly identify each. Front desks at Lincoln Hall and Hale Kuahine are open from 7:30am until 9:30pm on weekends. The front desk at Hale Manoa is open 24 hours a day, so if you plan on arriving after 9:30pm, you may still check in at the Hale Manoa front desk, regardless of your residence hall.
