Getting to the Conference

Sign up to Carpool!

  • — You can either make your car available or join a driver.
  • — One the connection has been made, the rest is up to you, driver and passenger(s).Be sure to immediately contact anyone you connect with through the carpool page, it does not happen automatically. The app just makes the connection.
  • — You can download the carpool app for your mobile device

 

Is this safe? Secure?

It is our carpool page and not commercial. At minimum, your email address will be displayed on it for everyone who signs up from our group to see. For security, we’ve put the link to the carpool page behind a recaptcha! and it doesn’t get listed on searches. Once you’ve done it, our site will send you the link. No one but MHA gets your email address from this form. You do have to put your email address into the carpool app. If you wish to know whether  person offering a ride or signing up for a ride with you is indeed signed  up for the conference, we’ll be happy to give you that information.

Public transportation

If commuting from Boston try carpooling first because the return trip timing  isn’t great. If you take the train and don’t want to take the bus or taxi, sign up for carpooling from the station, above. We’ll try to get someone to pick up people at the station at 8:30 am and wait for the Boston train scheduled to arrive at 08:21. Same in reverse at 3:50 (not so convenient)
