Travel Information:

The airport in Madison is actually called Dane County Airport (but airlines know it as Madison) with airport abbreviation MSN.
It is a 2.5 hour bus ride from Chicago O'Hare and 1.5 hour bus ride from Mitchell Field in Milwaukee. Maps & bus schedules from O'Hare airport and Milwaukee airport to Madison are available at www.math.wisc.edu/visiting.

The motels we list seem to have complimentary shuttle service to and from the Dane County (Madison) airport. The Campus Inn uses Madison cab, they are silver-colored. So if you are staying in the Campus Inn, find a Madison cab and they will take you to the Campus Inn, for no charge (except tip).
