Flights & Transportation
John Wayne Airport (SNA) is often the most convenient option for visiting CSUF due to its closer proximity to campus, with a shorter travel time to CSUF than flying into LAX. Expect a 20 – 30 minute drive from SNA to CSUF with an Uber/Lyft costing approximately $30-$50. Public transportation is available through OCTA. Take the Line 43 bus from SNA to the Fullerton Transportation Center, which is about three miles from CSUF. Download the OC Bus App for more information.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is a much larger airport with more flight times available, however it is significantly further from CSUF. Expect a 45 – 50 minute drive from LAX to CSUF, with an Uber/Lyft costing approximately $75 – $100.
Parking
Parking at Cal State Fullerton is $12 per day on Friday and $6 per day on Saturday and Sunday. Attendees of the CMBAM conference should park in the State College Parking Structure on the Lower Level. Use the ParkMobile app to pay for parking.
