Philadelphia's Center City is a bustling, thriving area, and street parking is severely limited. It is recommended that, when possible, conference attendees use public transportation or walk to the venues in order to avoid traffic delays and the perils of parking (which is very expensive throughout the city).

Marriott/Courtyard Parking for One-Day Visitors
Daily parking at both hotels is available only on an "as available" basis, since first preference is given to overnight guests. If parking is available, it is valet-parking only, priced as follows:
 0-1 hour, $18.00;
 1-3 hours, $25.20;
 3-8 hours, $33.60;
 8-24 hours, $43.20.
The prices include tax. There are no in/out privileges.
For less expensive alternatives, there is a self-park garage directly across the street from the Marriott, with access from Filbert Street at both 12th and 13th Streets. Another self-park garage is located across Market Street from the Marriott at the corner of 13th Street and Market.
