By Air
Syracuse/Hancock International Airport is located a few miles north of the city of Syracuse and roughly 14 miles from the Le Moyne College campus. Syracuse Hancock International Airport is served by a range of major carriers: American Eagle, Continental, Delta, JetBlue, Northwest (Delta), United Express, and USAirways. A number of other smaller airlines also operate out of the airport. Conference participants can rent a car at the airport or take a taxi. The current one-way taxi rate to Le Moyne College is $30.
In general and unfortunately, the Syracuse airport tends to rank among the more expensive small city destinations in the North East. Conference participants might wish to check whether the Greater Rochester International Airport located 4 miles southwest of Rochester and about 90 miles from Le Moyne College (and hour and a half driving) might be a more attractive destination cost-wise when combined with renting a car.
Syracuse is served by an Amtrak station with trains arriving from New York City, Albany, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls. The station is located about 6 miles from Le Moyne College in the Regional Transportation Center complex at 131 Alliance Bank Parkway near to the Carousel Mall. Currently, five trains a day stop at Syracuse in each direction (eastbound and westbound). One train a day, the Maple Leaf Service, comes from and leaves for Toronto, Ontario, Canada. One other train a day, The Lake Shore Limited, stops in Syracuse, to and from Chicago.
By Bus
The Regional Transportation Center noted immediately above also has service by Greyhound and Trailways bus lines.
