TRAVEL: Air and Amtrak travel can be covered in one of two ways. One option is to make your travel reservations independently, paying out-of-pocket at the time of purchase, and then requesting reimbursement based on the submission of dated, original receipts after your trip is completed. The second option is to obtain airline and Amtrak tickets through Yale’s “Orbitz for Business” account. This way, the tickets can be direct billed to ISPS at the time of purchase and you will enjoy the benefits of any special Yale discounts that are available. Please contact Pam Greene for instructions.
REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT: Meals and incidental expenses will be reimbursed based on the submission of actual receipts. Please submit the original, itemized receipt for reimbursement. For meals, a credit card receipt must be accompanied by an itemized restaurant receipt in order to be reimbursed. Please save all original travel receipts and submit them with your reimbursement request. An ISPS Travel Expense Voucher Form is provided for your convenience in recording your travel expenses. It also asks you to provide important payment information, and to sign and date your request. Please submit your reimbursement request within 10 days after completing your trip.

Air Travel
New Haven is serviced by the Tweed/New Haven Airport which is a convenient 10-minute taxi ride to the Yale campus and has daily flights to/from Philadelphia on US Airways. Other alternatives are Hartford/Bradley International Airport (approx. 1-hour driving time to Yale), or one of the New York airports (La Guardia, JFK, or Newark approx. 2.5 hours driving time).
Connecting Ground Transportation
Taxis, public shuttles, car rental, and private car service are available options for ground transportation between area airports and New Haven. Please consult with Pam Greene to determine the best option for your travel needs (pamela.greene@yale.edu or 203-432-3052).
Note: If you fly into Bradley Airport, car rental is often the most efficient, convenient, and cost-effective mode of transportation between the airport in Hartford and the Yale campus in New Haven. Fortunately, it’s an easy drive down I-91 that takes about an hour depending on traffic. But if you’re not comfortable with driving in an unfamiliar place, consult with Pam Greene about other options.
