Ground Transportation
MacArthur Airport is connected with the nearby Long Island Rail Road station at Ronkonkoma by dedicated shuttles. The LIRR currently offers a discount package for airport passengers, which includes the cost of shuttle service between the train station and airport terminal. http://www.mta.info/lirr/getaways/LongIsland/MacArthur.htm.
Taxi, rental car, and limousine service is available, too. Five national rental car companies serve the airport. Many hotels in the surrounding area also provide shuttle service to and from the airport, including the Holiday Inn – Long Island Islip Airport located on airport property less than five minutes from the terminal building.
Suffolk Transit's S57 route serves the airport, connecting it with Sayville and the Smith Haven Mall, located in Lake Grove, New York.
The Hampton Jitney's Westhampton and Montak lines stop along the Long Island Expressway (Interstate 495) at Exit 60. It is called the Islip Airport Connection, and is a short cab ride away from the airport terminal.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
