A few tips on getting to or around Baltimore.
Directions
Hopkins Transportation
Parking
Grad students get free parking in any garage on the JHMI campus after 430p. There's also a free satellite parking lot. If you want parking in a garage (and there's probably space in the Kennedy Krieger Garage, which is across the street from Traylor and near Broadway Research Building), then ask to be put on the GSA subsidized parking list and pay $50/month. Other parking rates are available on Homewood campus. If you TA, then you get a free parking pass in the South Garage (the new Mason Hall building underground garage). Ask Gayle in the Clark Hall BME Office about those parking passes.
The Shuttle
There's also a free Hopkins Shuttle that travels between the Homewood and and JHMI campuses. During rush hours, the shuttle arrives every fifteen minutes.
Getting to Hopkins
JHU has a website with lots of directions, whether you're trying to go to the Homewood campus, the med campus, Bayview, or the Applied Physics Lab.
Public Transportation
- The Maryland Transit Administration has several options for public transportation. Some of the easiest travel options include:
- Metro/Subway: The final south-bound stop is Johns Hopkins Hospital. This map, showing the route from Owings Mills through the Inner Harbor/Downtown Baltimore to JHMI, will show you the schedule and route of the Metro. Once you arrive at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, you can ask the Security Desk how to get to the Kennedy Krieger Institute.
- MARC: Only running from Mondays to Fridays, this train has several stops around Washington, DC, and comes directly to Baltimore's Penn Station in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood. The JHMI Shuttle Service stops by Penn Station on its way between the campuses.
- Lightrail: Operating at street-level, alongside cars and across bridges, the Light Rail's stops include BWI Airport, the Baltimore Convention Center, and shopping centers in Baltimore County.
- Bus: The local, express, and neighborhood buslines have many different routes.
