Arrival Information

Arrival Information

To view arrival shuttle times, click HERE.

Shuttle times are listed in alphabetical order by last name of the person that registered the shuttle.

The person listed as the onsite contact person while in Ames will be the one that receives the shuttle information. If you need to change that contact, please email Katie Kramer at katiek@discoverames.com.

The shuttle will bring you from the Des Moines International Airport to Team Check-in located on Iowa State University campus at the Scheman Building. From there, you’ll learn where you are staying on campus and another shuttle will take you to your housing location. If you are arriving to campus after 10:00pm, your shuttle will take you to Maple-Willow-Larch for late check-ins.

Officials will be taken to their assigned hotel.

If you are a participant and staying in a hotel, there is not a scheduled shuttle to take you there. Arrangements can be made through Uber/Lyft or by reaching out to a local taxi-type businesses/individuals. For those options, click HERE. 

If you are also using our shuttle services for departure, departure information will be posted in similar fashion by Friday, May 29 at noon. To view departure information, go to: Departure Shuttle Information.
