Transportation from the Roanoke Regional Airport (ROA) to Virginia Tech can be accomodated in one of three ways:

1. You can rent your own vehicle.

The time from the airport to the Virginia Tech campus is about 40 minutes.
Leave the Airport and turn right onto W. Aviation Dr.
Stay in right lane and take your second right, which is a ramp onto Hwy 101 (Hershburger Rd.).
Move over one lane as the right lane ends. This lane will take you onto Interstate 581 West.
Take this and follow signs to I-81 south (toward Blacksburg, Salem and Bristol).
Once on I-81 south, you are on mile marker 144.
You will stay on I-81 south until exit 118-B Blacksburg (26 miles).
Follow signs to Blacksburg.
The first stoplight you encounter will be Southgate Dr., which takes you to campus.
Turn right at Southage Dr, turn left on West Campus Dr. (first left) and right on Washington St (first right).
Take Washington St. through campus.
You will come to a stop sign. Go straight through the stop sign to you first left, which is Otey St.
Turn left and take this to near the end.
Donaldson Brown Hotel is on your left.
You can park in the lot to your right.
Be sure to get a hang tag from the Hotel.

2. You can take the bus.
