Ground Transportation

Wasilla, Alaska, is about a 45 - 60 minute drive from the airport in Anchorage, Alaska.

Taking a taxi from Anchorage to Wasilla is VERY expensive. Therefore, we'll assist everyone with making ground transportation arrangements.

1. First: Once you have finalized your travel arrangements, contact Diane Johnson with your flight number, your expected time of arrival, and whether you are renting a car or not renting a car.

2. It is very possible that other participants may be arriving on the same flights. We'll share arrival times on the website so we can communicate transportation information and help each of you either meet up with someone who is renting a car and car pool to Wasilla or we will arrange for you to be picked up in Anchorage. A slight fee for transportation may be necessary, but we guarantee it will be cheaper than the taxi!

3. Once you are 'with us' at the start of the conference, our staff will assist with transportation as will other volunteers. Those renting cars will be willing to share rides, too, car pooling is a great way to cut everyone's expenses! We will also assist in getting everyone back to their flights following the conference.

4. IF YOU ARE RENTING A CAR and willing to have someone chip in money for fuel and car pooling, please let Diane Johnson know as soon as you are sure of your plans.

5. If you travel flight changes, please let Diane Johnson know.
