Local Travel To and From Burlington
Getting to Burlington
Burlington International Airport (BTV) is conveniently located 3 miles from downtown. The #1 bus is a 12-minute walk from the airport and leads to downtown. Rideshares are easily accessible at the airport.
​
You can also get to Burlington by Amtrak. The Ethan Allen Express runs from New York to downtown Burlington, and the Vermonter runs from Washington, DC, to Essex Junction (a nearby town served by the #2 bus). There is also a Greyhound bus stop in downtown Burlington.
​
​
Public Transportation
​
Green Mountain Transit operates bus service in Burlington and the surrounding towns. Fares are $2 and can be paid in cash, with a tap-enabled debit/credit card, or through their app. Daily fares are capped at $4 for riders using the app, so this is recommended if you will take more than 2 bus trips per day.
​​
​
Ride-Share Options
Ubers and Lyfts are available within Burlington and the immediately surrounding towns. If you need a ride to the airport at a specific time, it is advised that you schedule a pickup in advance since drivers can be limited. Ubers and Lyfts are not readily accessible outside of the Burlington area.
Student Travel Awards
Student travel awards will be awarded on a limited basis to help offset conference expenses for students.
Recipients must be AEES members. Preference will be given to those students who indicate a high level of need (would not be able to attend without travel award funding) and those with long travel distances. Undergraduate and graduate students will be eligible.
Travel award payments will be issued as a reimbursement following the conference; additional instructions for requesting travel award payments will be provided with the award notification email. Students awarded a travel award are required to stay at UVM University Heights.
