The participant bus system will operate in two ways: team sports will have dedicated buses and individual sports will have a sport-specific bus.

There will be a dedicated transportation hub at the Athletes’ Village for transportation to the competition venues.

Initial departure times from the Athletes’ Village will be scheduled to allow the participants to arrive at the venue 1-1.5 hours prior to the start of competition, 30 minutes prior to practice, and depart 30 minutes after competition or practice. These times are sport specific.

For Opening and Closing Ceremonies, participants will be transported on dedicated Provincial/Territorial buses to the venue (Opening: Meridan Centre in St. Catharines, Closing: Queen Victoria Park in Niagara Falls). Participants will be transported back to Brock University using a shuttle service.

There are two options for spectating athletes who wish to watch other competitions when their schedule allows:

1. Participants can board the Games athlete shuttles from the athlete bus load zone located in front of the Bus Transportation Hub. The shuttle will service all of the competition venues on a regular schedule, which will be published in the Athlete Handbook and available at the Village Information Centre.

2. City Transit will allow anyone with accreditation to ride the bus free of charge. All City Transit buses are fully wheelchair accessible with two wheelchair tie down spaces available.

Note: The 13 for 13 festival will have athlete transportation.
