Transportation during the Vancouver Olympics

One of the most important things the City of Vancouver can do to make the 2010 Host City experience great for everyone is to help make it easier and more convenient to get around the region in 2010. To do that, we all need to work together to reduce the amount of vehicle traffic on Vancouver streets in 2010.

What to expect

Residents, businesses and visitors can expect rush hour conditions and parking restrictions in Downtown Vancouver 24 hours a day during Games time. We encourage everyone coming Downtown during Games time to walk, cycle, take public transit or carpool rather than drive alone. This will not only ease traffic pressures at Games time, but will be faster and easier for everyone to get around the city.
