Transportation
Please make sure your flight arrives so that you have plenty of time to get to Michindoh between 3-5 pm (ET) on Monday October 26.
Most New Staff fly into Detroit Metro Airport (DTW). DTW is about 1 hour and 30 mins from Michindoh. All major airlines fly into DTW with multiple flights a day.
GROUND TRANSPORTATION
The MPDRR team created a document so that you can share your travel info and coordinate rides from the airport to Michindoh. We think you will need to rent a car, and we encourage you to go in with your fellow New Staff to share the cost. Michindoh is far from DTW and really too far to use Uber or Lyft. If you are struggling with finding a ride, please reach out to us at mpdrr@cru.org.
If you have any questions, please contact your MPD Coach.
