Most airlines have discounts for advance
reservation (7‑day, 21-day and 30-day).
Before booking, check policies and
restrictions on Saturday night stay-over,
ticket changes, refunds, etc. Get ticket
prices from several airlines and through
more than one travel service. Generally,
you will spend less money on travel if
you make your arrangements sooner
rather than later.
Car Rental
Renting a car is the best transportation
from local airports to Emporia, and you
have freedom to travel at your leisure.
Use a travel service (either in person,
over the phone, or online) to obtain
the best rates. Round‑trip mileage is
an estimated 255 miles from Kansas
City and 185 miles from Wichita, plus
local travel. Rates that include unlimited
mileage often make the most sense.
Driving Your Own Vehicle
Driving your own vehicle may be more
practical than flying and renting a car.
We have adequate parking for even a
larger recreational vehicle.
Arriving in Emporia
Using a GPS for directions? Make sure
you have the most up-to-date maps
downloaded to your device before
departure. If you need directions when
you arrive, you may call us during
business hours (Monday – Friday,
8 a.m. – 5 p.m.). After business hours, we
recommend going directly to your hotel.
We cannot transport students by any
means for arrival, departure, or during
their stay in Emporia. We are not licensed
or insured for this type of service.

Emporia Community
Location
Located about midway between
Kansas City and Wichita, our facility
is in Emporia, Kansas, at
900 Overlander Road.
Weather
Spring and fall are transitional
seasons with rain likely and
temperatures being warm or cool.
Occasional thunderstorms in late
spring through summer may occur.
During summer (late June through
mid September), highs can reach the
mid 90s and above. Short sleeves
and lightweight pants (or shorts for
casual wear) are perfect for summer.
With a population of nearly 25,000,
Emporia is a modest and typical
Midwestern town. It has a surprising
balance of industry, culture,
education, and agriculture. Emporia
State University has over 6,000 fulltime students from around the world.
Restaurant choices are standard
for the Midwestern and Southern
states. Both Mexican and Asian food
restaurants thrive, with a variety
of fast food franchises located
throughout the city. The community
has adopted a smoke-free law, so
all dining, lodging, and the GRS
Training Center are smoke-free.
