ABOUT SANTA BARBARA
The city of Santa
Barbara, founded by the Spanish in the 18th century, is considered
to be one of the jewels of the California coast. It lies approximately
100 miles northwest of Los Angeles, nestled against the Santa Ynez Mountains
and overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In June, the days are warm (70s) and
the nights are cool (50s), with occasional morning fog. Nearby are many
excellent ocean beaches, lakes, forests, mountains with varied hiking
trails, and such manmade attractions as the Hearst Castle, the flower
fields of Lompoc, the Old World Danish Village of Solvnag, the Mission,
Court House, and other examples of Spanish architecture.
DRESS
Casual clothing is in order with a sweater or light jacket occasionally
needed for the evenings. The University of California is essentially a
walking campus, so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes.
TRANSPORTATION TO SANTA BARBARA
The Santa Barbara area may be reached by:
CAR
UCSB is easily accessible
from US 101. From the South, take the UCSB/Highway 217 exit and identify
yourself at the gate as either an EMC or DRC/EMC attendee. From the North,
take the Storke Road/UCSB exit and drive south (toward the ocean) to a
“T” junction with El Colegio Road. Turn left onto El Colegio
Road and ask for directions at the University gate. If you are residing
on campus you will be notifi ed in your confi rmation which Residence
Hall you have been assigned and the attendant at the gate can provide
you with directions and a temporary parking permit. If you are residing
off campus and will be driving to UCSB,
please stop at the gate for directions as well.
TRAIN
Amtrak Train Service serves Santa Barbara. The Amtrak terminal is located
in downtown Santa Barbara as well as in Goleta. From there, you may reach
the campus or your hotel by SuperRide Shuttle or taxi only. Note: The
UCSB Campus Shuttle
cannot pick you up from the train station if you are residing on campus.
AIR
Most people traveling by air will initially land at Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX), about 2.5 hours away from Santa Barbara. From there, you
have the option to either fl y to Santa Barbara, travel to Santa Barbara
via the Santa Barbara Airbus, or rent a car and drive to Santa Barbara.
Flying into Santa Barbara
A free UCSB Shuttle
Bus will carry those participants staying at the University from the Santa
Barbara Airport to their campus residence hall. You will receive the appropriate
phone number to call to secure our UCSB
Shuttle Bus upon arrival at the Santa Barbara Airport in your confi rmation
packet. At the end of the conference, the UCSB
Shuttle Bus will take on campus participants back to the Santa Barbara
Airport for their departure. Those staying in local hotels are responsible
for their own transportation from the Airport to their individual hotel;
some hotels provide this service so please check when
reading the hotel descriptions. If your hotel does not provide this service,
you may wish to try SuperRide Airport Shuttle, (805) 683-9636, which offers
a local rate ranging from $9.00 - $18.00, depending on the location of
your destination site in Santa Barbara. Reservations are strongly recommended.
The Santa Barbara Airbus
Provides several daily bus trips from the Los Angeles International Airport
to Santa Barbara; Telephone: US/Canada 800-423-1618; 805-964-7759 for
those calling outside the US/Canada area, or Fax: 805-683-0307. Please
remember that if you will be residing on campus at UCSB
and will be using the Santa Barbara Airbus, make sure that your Drop-off
site is in Goleta. That way our UCSB Shuttle Bus will be able to pick
you up and bring you to campus. You will receive the appropriate number
to call to secure our UCSB
Shuttle Bus upon arrival at the Goleta Drop-off site in your confi rmation
packet. At the end of the conference, the UCSB
Shuttle Bus will take on campus participants back to the Santa Barbara
Airbus Goleta Drop-off site for their departure. Again, those staying
in local hotels are responsible for their own transportation from the
Santa Barbara Airbus Drop-off site to their individual hotel.
TAXI
Taxi service is available from the Airport to the local hotels not offering
free shuttle service.
MAP
A local area/campus map is available
for download in portable document format.
PARKING
Parking is by permit only. If you are staying on campus, identify yourself
at the entry gate as a participant in EMC (or DRC/EMC) and you will receive
a one-hour temporary permit. You will be notified in your confi rmation
packet which Residence Hall you have been assigned; drive to that Hall
and obtain a long-term permit which you may use for the duration of your
stay. Parking is complimentary for those staying in the Residence Hall.
Attendees residing off campus can purchase a permit ahead of time by indicating
this on the On-Campus Housing Reservation Form; permits may also be purchased
at the on-site registration desk.

Attendees residing off-campus CANNOT purchase a multi-day parking permit
on-site, only one-day permits will be sold from the gate attendant. Pre-purchasing
of parking permits is encouraged to eliminate standing in lines. See Housing
Reservation Form to pre-purchase parking permits. Parking citations are
issued for cars incorrectly parked or lacking permits. Please note that
UCSB is a walking campus
and parking is limited. Your parking assignment may not necessarily be
close to your assigned Residence Hall or session location.
