- 🚿 Towel, shower shoes, & clothes to change into (yes, we have showers!!!)
- 🥤 Water bottle - We will have disposable water bottles as well, but we highly encourage you to bring your own refillable bottles because we have many stations to fill them up

✈️ Airport to UTD
Arriving at either DFW International Airport or Love Field Airport, you have 3 options:
- Uber/Lyft - ~$35 for Lyft, ~$25 for Uber, a ~30 minute commute
- Uber’s rates drop significantly if you walk a little ways from the airport (for ex. take an Uber from Belt Line DART Station)
- Train/Bus - a 2hr, $3-6 commute
- Public transportation only runs between 5am to midnight!
- Download the GoPass app and buy an AM, PM, or day pass
- Click the Plan tab (bottom left) and navigate to UTD or just use Google Maps
- Find a friend to pick you up - it’ll be better than the first two options!
This is a map route from DFW to UTD using public transportation (DART):

You can find more information about DART routes and schedules on the DART website.
