GROUND TRANSPORTATION:
The MPDRR team created a document so that you can share your travel info and coordinate rides from the airport to Ridgecrest. If you are struggling with finding a ride please reach out to us at mpdrr@cru.org. You can rent a car and share it with other New Staff to drive from AVL to Ridgecrest. You might be able to get an Uber/Lyft from AVL to Ridgecrest but the ride back from Ridgecrest to AVL might be hard to get an Uber/Lyft because it is so far outside the city limits. If you fly in CLT you definitely need to rent a car.

If you have any questions, please contact your MPD Coach.
