So you got your ticket, you saved the date (Friday, November 6th at 6pm), and now it’s time to get directions!

TEDxPhoenix 2009 will be taking place at the Mesa Art Center, and here are two easy ways to get there.

Getting to the Mesa Arts Center by Car

 
The Mesa Arts Center is located at 1 East Main Street in Mesa, which puts you smack dab in the middle of Downtown Mesa.

We have created a handy Google Map (embedded below) that you can use to get driving directions to the Mesa Arts Center, as well as find parking near the MAC.

By the way, the awesome folks at the MAC were gracious enough to provide free parking for TEDxPhoenix attendees, but it never hurts to make sure that the parking lot you’re using is indeed free.

Getting to the MAC by Foot, Bike, Bus, and METRO Light Rail

 
For those public transport aficionados who would like to be green, there are several ways to get to the Mesa Arts Center and we’ve highlighted two of the more popular ways below.

BY BUS: To get to the MAC by bus, you want to make your way to Bus Route 40 – Main/Apache which runs between the Superstition Springs Park-and-Ride and Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport — the route also has a stop at the Mesa Arts Center along the way.

BY METRO LIGHT RAIL + LINK: Although the METRO Light Rail stops a few blocks short of the Mesa Arts Center, it does drop you off at the Sycamore/Main St Transit Center which is a major hub for numerous bus routes including the aforementioned Bus Route 40 and the Valley Metro LINK. What makes the LINK special is that it has traffic signal priority, meaning that stoplights wait to turn red until it passes. The LINK also runs a streamlined route from the Sycamore Transit Center to the Superstition Springs Park-and-Ride.

**Schedules for the LINK and Bus Route 40 can be found at the links included above.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone this Friday at TEDxPhoenix 2009, and don’t forget to buy your tickets if you haven’t done so already!

Sincerely,
The TEDxPhoenix Crew
