Be aware of nonofficial housing companies that contact exhibitors and attendees claiming to be able to secure hotel rooms at a better rate. These “poachers” are not authorized to represent ANCC. Previous attendees reported that after paying these companies, no rooms were reserved, and they lost their money. If you are being contacted by any other company claiming they are the official housing service for this event, please contact sales@ana.org and include “Housing Scam” in the subject line.

Ground Transportation in New Orleans 

New Orleans’s streetcar lines have been a staple of public transportation in the city for centuries – more specifically, the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line began toting passengers in 1835, making it the world’s oldest continually operating streetcar line. Nowadays, the iconic brown and green or red and yellow carts follow tracks across the city. Plan more of your streetcar-based exploration using our streetcar itinerary, which breaks everything down by route. 

Along with the streetcar, The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) runs 30 bus lines in the city. With their handyTrip Planner you can find what routes to take to get to your destination. Or download Le Pass for the most efficient and seamless transit experience. The app puts real-time transit tracking, trip planning tools, and mobile payment options right at your fingertips.
