Welcome!

Dear Volunteer,

Welcome to Greenbuild 2018!

On behalf of the U.S. Green Building Council and the Illinois Green Alliance, we want to thank you for the time and energy you have dedicated to making Geenbuild such a success. This year‘s conference would not be as successful without volunteers like you! We are very excited to welcome you to Chicago for this great opportunity and experience!

This year's theme, Human by Nature, celebrates the intersection of humanity and the built environment. The green building move-ment embraces all of humanity by making sustainable buildings and environments accessible to everyone. The future of the human race is interwoven with the future of the planet, and the sustainable practices we celebrate and advance at Greenbuild remind us that our success as sustainability advocates, practitioners, professionals and volunteers is more than a movement, it is a responsibility.

Your time is greatly appreciated, and we will do all that we can to make your volunteer experience a meaningful one. This packet provides some guidance and some overall direction for your time and McCormick Place and will provide guidance for planning your schedule while you are here.

We hope you can experience the collaborative and innovative energy in our city during your time at Greenbuild, with a great deal of workshops as well as educational and networking opportunities.

Please feel free to email [email protected] with any questions you may have. And be sure to connect with our Facebook group “Greenbuild Volunteers” as well at facebook.com/GreenbuildVolunteers.

We are looking forward to meeting you all soon,

Andy Stein and Jodi FeldheimVolunteer Committee Co-ChairsGreenbuild 2018

Public Transit - CTA Bus, “L” Train, MetraChicago’s public transit consists of regional commuter trains and a city-based rapid transit system. Metra, the commuter trains, connects the suburbs to the city, as well as Down-town to both McCormick Place where Greenbuild is held, and the Museum Campus where the Opening Celebration is held. The CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) is our rapid transit system connecting the many neighborhoods of Chicago. It consists of buses and rapid transit trains, better known locally as “the L”.

CTAThe CTA consists of both buses and trains. The buses are numbered, while the L trains are colored. The CTA also connects both airports to Chicago. It should take approximately an hour to get downtown from both Midway and O’Hare and signs are clearly marked to �nd the CTA at both airports. Most transfers between lines are found in the Loop. See the following page for a city-wide CTA Rail Map or visit https://www.transitchicago.com/.

The most common ways to get to McCormick Place via the CTA are as follows:• Green Line – Take or transfer to the Green Line from stations in the Loop. There is a McCormick Place station that lets riders out 6 blocks from the venue. The train ride from State/Lake station is about 15 minutes and walk time is about 15 minutes. Trains leave about every 10 minutes.• Bus – Depending on where you are staying, the #3 Bus goes straight down Michi-gan Ave with stops at most intersections. This line lets out directly in front of McCor-mick Place. Be aware that during rush hours, tra�c could take a bit longer so plan ahead. The bus trip from Randolph and Michigan takes about 30 minutes in regular tra�c and buses leave every 15 minutes.

MetraMetra is predominantly used to connect the outlying suburbs to the city. The main city stations are Ogilvie and Union Station. Conveniently for Greenbuild, there is also the Metra Electric Line that leaves from Millennium Station at the corner of Randolph and Michigan Avenue, right downtown. This line has stops directly inside McCormick Place and outside the Museum Campus. The ride to McCormick Place takes about 15 minutes and trains run approximately every 40 minutes. Schedules can be found at https://metrarail.com/.

TicketsAll forms of transit are accessible through Ventra ticket cards or passes at http://ventrachicago.com

CTACTA riders need a physical ticket that will be scanned upon entry to the bus or L station. Ventra cards may be purchased at any L station, while the Ventra mobile app allows users to reload transit cards with any dollar value and check arrival times. A new Ventra card costs $5, which is refunded once loaded with fare. A single ride for the L is $2.50 and $2.25 for the bus. The CTA o�ers 1, 3, and 7-day unlimited ride passes for $10, $20, and $28 as well as the Ventra card that can be reloaded through the app as necessary.

MetraMetra riders can purchase a ticket through the Ventra app and show the conductor when on board. Tickets can also be purchased onboard the train directly with the conductors using cash only, and at select stations.

You can further navigate Chicago transit via Google Maps, which will show route options and travel times.

Bike Sharing - DivvyDivvy is Chicago’s bike share provider, with 6,000 bikes available at 570+ stations across Chicago. Divvy provides residents and visitors with a convenient, a�ordable, earth-friend-ly option for getting around and exploring Chicago. Divvy bikes are specially designed, sturdy and durable bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations around the city. Bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station in the system.

Bikes can be rented via the Divvy app or directly from the kiosks on the bike racks them-selves. Bikes can be rented $3/trip for a single ride up to 30 minutes or with a $15 Explorer Pass, which gives you unlimited 3-hour rides in any 24-hour period. Special - Divvy has extended special pricing for Greenbuild. When purchasing an Explorer Pass, enter code GREEN in the app or kiosk to receive $5 o� November 12-17th. To �nd the best route to your destination via bike, please refer to Google Maps.

Walking - Sidewalks, Pedways, Lakeshore PathsDepending on where you are staying, Chicago can also be very walkable. Sidewalks allow you to be your own tour guide, while the lakefrount’s extensive path system o�ers access to picturesque views. If the weather isn’t accomodating, use Chicago’s many pedways that form an almost-entirely underground walking system. A pedway map can be found at: https://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/cdot/pedestrian/Pedway/PedwayMap2013.pdf

Rideshare and TaxisChicago has many traditional taxis as well as rideshare options such as Lyft and Uber that can accessed through their individual apps.

LyftIf other public transit or active transportation choices are not applicable, we recommend using Lyft, the o�cial rideshare sponsor of Greenbuild. As the �rst and only carbon-neu-tral rideshare company, Lyft is stepping up on climate change. By o�setting over 1 million metric tons of carbon emissions in the �rst year alone, Lyft is one of the largest voluntary purchases of carbon o�sets worldwide. the impact of this multi-million dollar is equiva-lent to planting over 35 million trees. Special - To get 20% o� 4 rides, up to $5 o� per ride between Nov. 13-17th, enter code GREENBUILD in your Lyft app.

Public Transit - CTA Bus, “L” Train, MetraChicago’s public transit consists of regional commuter trains and a city-based rapid transit system. Metra, the commuter trains, connects the suburbs to the city, as well as Down-town to both McCormick Place where Greenbuild is held, and the Museum Campus where the Opening Celebration is held. The CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) is our rapid transit system connecting the many neighborhoods of Chicago. It consists of buses and rapid transit trains, better known locally as “the L”.

CTAThe CTA consists of both buses and trains. The buses are numbered, while the L trains are colored. The CTA also connects both airports to Chicago. It should take approximately an hour to get downtown from both Midway and O’Hare and signs are clearly marked to �nd the CTA at both airports. Most transfers between lines are found in the Loop. See the following page for a city-wide CTA Rail Map or visit https://www.transitchicago.com/.

The most common ways to get to McCormick Place via the CTA are as follows:• Green Line – Take or transfer to the Green Line from stations in the Loop. There is a McCormick Place station that lets riders out 6 blocks from the venue. The train ride from State/Lake station is about 15 minutes and walk time is about 15 minutes. Trains leave about every 10 minutes.• Bus – Depending on where you are staying, the #3 Bus goes straight down Michi-gan Ave with stops at most intersections. This line lets out directly in front of McCor-mick Place. Be aware that during rush hours, tra�c could take a bit longer so plan ahead. The bus trip from Randolph and Michigan takes about 30 minutes in regular tra�c and buses leave every 15 minutes.

MetraMetra is predominantly used to connect the outlying suburbs to the city. The main city stations are Ogilvie and Union Station. Conveniently for Greenbuild, there is also the Metra Electric Line that leaves from Millennium Station at the corner of Randolph and Michigan Avenue, right downtown. This line has stops directly inside McCormick Place and outside the Museum Campus. The ride to McCormick Place takes about 15 minutes and trains run approximately every 40 minutes. Schedules can be found at https://metrarail.com/.

TicketsAll forms of transit are accessible through Ventra ticket cards or passes at http://ventrachicago.com

CTACTA riders need a physical ticket that will be scanned upon entry to the bus or L station. Ventra cards may be purchased at any L station, while the Ventra mobile app allows users to reload transit cards with any dollar value and check arrival times. A new Ventra card costs $5, which is refunded once loaded with fare. A single ride for the L is $2.50 and $2.25 for the bus. The CTA o�ers 1, 3, and 7-day unlimited ride passes for $10, $20, and $28 as well as the Ventra card that can be reloaded through the app as necessary.

MetraMetra riders can purchase a ticket through the Ventra app and show the conductor when on board. Tickets can also be purchased onboard the train directly with the conductors using cash only, and at select stations.

You can further navigate Chicago transit via Google Maps, which will show route options and travel times.
