Brown University has an urban campus—parking is extremely limited and tightly regulated. Parking is available at the conference hotels. For special cases, a very limited number of on-campus parking passes may be available through the Conference Chair in advance of the meeting, at a cost of $7 per day. These passes would be for the Athletic Center lot, about 5 blocks from the meeting site.
