Corning is walkable and charming — and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what to know as you finalize your travel:
- From ELM (Elmira Corning Regional Airport): ~10 miles. Rental cars, taxis, and shuttles available at baggage claim.
- From Rochester, Binghamton, or NYC airports: Rental car recommended for the drive in.(Binghamton is a 1 hour 15 minute drive, Rochester is a 1 hour 40 minute drive, and NYC is about a 4 hour drive.)
- Rideshare: Uber and Lyft are available. Use Uber Reserve to book ahead — on-demand pickups can be slow in a small city.
- Taxis & transfers: Bill’s Transportation (607) 731-8801 · Terp’s Enterprises (607) 795-4426 · Prestige Limousine (607) 734-6192
- Conference shuttles: Once you’re here, 5 shuttles run daily between the conference site, area hotels, and conference activity locations. See the full stop list and daily operating hours here (link). Shuttles circulate throughout the day rather than on a fixed per-stop timetable — build in a little buffer time.
- Once downtown: The Gaffer District is walkable, and most conference activity is close by.
Consider connecting with fellow attendees to coordinate airport carpools — it’s a great way to arrive together and skip the scramble.
