Transportation
ARRIVING BY PLANE:
Please make sure your flight arrives so that you will have plenty of time to get to Ridgecrest between by 3:00 – 5:00 pm (EST) on Monday, May 13.
It is very convenient to fly directly into Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), but there are limited flights to AVL and might be more expensive. Ridgecrest is about 30 mins away from AVL. You can also fly into Charlotte International Airport but it is a 2 hour drive to Ridgecrest. You can also fly into Greenville-Spartanburg Airport but it is a 1.5 hours drive to Ridgecrest. So the extra cost of a flight to AVL might even out because of the drive from those other airports.
GROUND TRANSPORTATION:
The MPDRR team will coordinate rides for you from the airport in Asheville to Ridgecrest. You can also rent a car and share it with other New Staff to get from AVL to Ridgecrest. You might be able to get an Uber/Lyft from AVL to Ridgecrest but the ride back from Ridgecrest to AVL might be hard to get an Uber/Lyft because it is so far outside the city limits. We will coordinate rides from Ridgecrest to AVL on Thursday May 16 and Friday May 17.
If you have any questions, please contact your MPD Coach.
