Parking: Parking at or near MIT is extremely limited. Consider public transportation (such as the Red Line subway to Kendall Square) instead. If you are flying in, the Silver Line departs from Logan Airport (for free), and you can transfer (for free) to the Red Line (outbound toward Alewife) at South Station. If you are driving in, see MIT's list of parking facilities on or near campus. The Hayward parking garage (55 Wadsworth Street) is close to many of our events.
