Public Transportation
There are many alternatives to driving to Fort Mason and we strongly encourage all SOCAP attendees to consider them. There is another large event taking place during SOCAP18 and traffic may be more congested during the conference than it has been in previous years.
- San Francisco MUNI: sfmta.com/muni (Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture is served by the following MUNI lines: 28, 30, 30X, 43, 47, and 49).
- Bay Area Rapid Transit BART: bart.gov
- North Bay Golden Gate Transit:
goldengate.org
- Peninsula/South Bay CalTrain:
caltrain.com
Download a MuniMobile® app for iPhone or Android to purchase mobile tickets for all MUNI public transportation options, including bus, rail, and cable car. Or purchase a Clipper® Card, that allows you to pay fares in advance for easy access to all BART and Muni options in the Bay Area.
Marin Shuttle
We have arranged a shuttle service at a reasonable rate that will transport SOCAP attendees back and forth between Fort Mason and the three hotels with reserved room blocks in Marin County:
- The Holiday Inn Express Mill Valley
- The Best Western Corte Madera Inn
- The Marin Suites in Corte Madera
Reserve your shuttle pass as soon as possible, as space is limited.
Staying in the East Bay?
Driving time on the Bay Bridge is highly unpredictable because of traffic congestion. If you’re staying in the East Bay we recommend that you take BART–that will be the fastest way to get to Fort Mason. Exit at Embarcadero. From there you can either hire a taxi, Lyft, or Uber to take you to Fort Mason or take a streetcar up Embarcadero to the end of the line and walk the rest of the way.
