+
+## Transportation
+
+TCEA is located roughly 5.5 miles from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and about 5 miles from downtown Austin. There is public transit stops nearby as well as a limited amount of parking on site. 
+
+### Public Transit
+
+Our local buses are run by CapMetro: https://www.capmetro.org/ 
+
+Bus Route 228 is the closest route. The other alternative is Bus Route 311. We recommend choosing the following bus stops, as they are the closest and do not require crossing or walking along highway feeder routes.
+
+| Bus Stop                       | Stop Number | Distance from Venue                 | Route  | Link                                      |

+
+### Rideshare
+
+Uber and Lyft are the most popular services in Austin. We highly recommend using one to get to the venue rather than using a scooter rental like Lime or Bird as the venue is next to a highway.
+
+### Parking
+
+**If you can carpool with another attendee, please do so. Parking is limited.**
+
+Our venue has a limited number of parking spaces. Parking is around the back of the building (please reference this map) and will be clearly marked with signage. We will also have volunteers out in the parking lot to guide you. We cannot park in other parking spaces as there are other tenants in the complex; please be aware that parking in spaces that are not within our block can result in your car being towed.
+
+{{< asset year="2025" city="austin" name="parking map indicating spots behind the building" image="tcea_parking.png" >}}
+
+For overflow parking, we also have a parking block at Tru by Hilton 2 miles away. We recommend that, if you need to go to the overflow parking, you carpool with others rather than trying to walk to the venue from there.
+
+#### Accessible Parking
+
+The venue has van-accessible and general accessible parking spots reserved. The venue is all on one floor at street level with no stairs or elevator needed to enter or exit.
+
+## Hotels
+
+We have a [room discount with Tru by Hilton](https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/rooms/?ctyhocn=AUSBWRU&arrivalDate=2025-03-14&departureDate=2025-03-15&room1NumAdults=1) nearby that you are welcome to use. There are also a number of hotel chains nearby, as well as Air B&B, VRBO, and boutique hotels.
