Transportation planning for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games - Vancouver's largest special event- was a complex challenge compounded by venue security road closures. On a typical Games day, approximately 500,000 additional person trips to, from or through Vancouver were accommodated. Through public engagement, careful planning and evaluation, and collaboration with its regional transportation partners, the City of Vancouver developed a wide range of innovative strategies to create its Host City Olympic Transportation Plan.

This presentation will focus on the City's key lessons learned from planning and implementing its Host City Olympic Transportation Plan including an overview of the City's Games-time transportation monitoring program. Moving forward, the City will build on its 2010 Winter Games transportation achievements and lessons learned through an updated long-term transportation plan that continues to encourage people to choose greener ways of getting around.
