Getting Around

Taking public transit and using active modes of transportation such as walking or cycling will be the best ways to get around when visiting venues in Toronto’s downtown core. Parking will be limited or unavailable at most venues and spectators are strongly encouraged to avoid driving to venues. This also helps limit the carbon footprint of the Games.

Please note that accessible transit and/or limited accessible parking options for all Games venues will be available.
