    • Shuttles will operate every 15 minutes.
  • Rideshare:
    • The city offers two rideshare hubs in downtown Orlando which provide dedicated pick-up lanes for cabs and rideshare drivers to help move people more efficiently out of downtown during late night hours. These hubs operate on Fridays and Saturdays from midnight to 3 a.m. and are located on Magnolia Avenue next to Heritage Square and on Gertrude’s Avenue between Jefferson Street and Washington Street.
    • The Jones High School Admin Lot (801 Rio Grande Avenue) will serve as a taxi and rideshare drop-off and pickup area on Sunday, January 26, from 1 to 7 p.m. for patrons to the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl at Camping World Stadium. 

Parking Tips: 

Patrons traveling in vehicles to downtown should consider planning their traveling routes based on where they will park and use the parking location address to navigate. 

Most parking garages in downtown Orlando are a short walk from entertainment locations and will allow patrons to enter and exit quicker than those in close proximity to venues.
