Getting Around Cleveland

Parking

Facilities (Garages/Surface Lots)

Nearby parking lots and garages are conveniently marked on this map of Downtown Cleveland.

Parking Meters

Metered parking will be limited Downtown and take coins only. Please follow all posted parking directives and plan accordingly.


Public Transit (RTA)

Public transit helps when the weather isn't cooperating. Cleveland's Regional Transit Authority runs free trolley buses on weekdays. RTA also operates a rail line between Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Tower City Center every 15 minutes.

Cleveland’s transit system is rather substantial with bus, trolley and train lines all throughout the city. Be sure to visit RTA’s website or use the Transit App to purchase fares and plan trips with real-time arrival information from your phone. 


Walk

According to Walk Score, a popular internet site for ranking pedestrian-friendly cities, Downtown Cleveland is considered a "walkers paradise." Most attractions in Downtown Cleveland can be reached within a 20-minute walk.

In addition, PCMA's Convene magazine ranked the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland number four on the "Top 15 Convention Centers in Highly Walkable Places" list. That means returning to the hotel room for a quick break between sessions is no biggie.

Yellow-clad Downtown ambassadors patrol the streets to ensure safety and cleanliness, answer questions, offer friendly greetings or give helpful directions.

While in Cleveland, taxi cab and ride share services are available throughout the region, Downtown and at the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. So, save the driving for someone else with one of these transportation businesses.
