The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City. The nearest airport is Salt Lake International (SLC). Taxis are always available at the exit of the terminal. Look for "Ground Transportation". The University's campus (and the Guest House) are in Salt Lake City, east of 500E. Therefore, the taxi ride (20-25min) should be at a flat fare of $30 plus tip and tax. Make sure you confirm with your driver what the flat fare is, as soon as you get into your car.
The Trax (our tram) passes through Campus close to both the Guest House and the math department. It can get you from the Airport to the Guest House in about 50-60 minutes and costs $2.50!
Salt Lake has very good public transportation. There are several buses and trams (called the Trax) connecting the different parts of the city. Here, you can plan your trip, see maps, schedules, fares, and more.
Parking on campus (information and maps). Note that you can park at the Guest House as part of your stay there, at no extra charge.
