Location and Transportation
The Groundwater Modeling and More 2026 Conference will be held on Princeton University campus, which is located in the historic town of Princeton, New Jersey. If you are staying in town walking to the conference through campus or along Nassau Street are the easiest options. It’s a leisurely 15 minutes from downtown to the conference location. Conference signs will be posted along the route. If you are staying at a hotel near Route 1, it’s not very walkable and we recommend taking a Lyft/Uber. The Tiger Transit shuttle system is free, open to the public, and provides safe and convenient transportation throughout Princeton campus. New Jersey Transit also has stops on Princeton campus and downtown. The #605 and #606 buses serve Princeton campus and Nassau Street.
