12. What accessibility options are available
(transportation routes and public transit)?
The Staples Center is adjacent to major freeways
(HWY 110 / HWY 10), arterial roads (Grand Ave. /
Olympic Blvd.), and major Metro stops (A-E Lines),
giving key constituents and spectators efficient
means of transportation. For key constituents, the
ORN will consist of dedicated Olympic Lanes in and
out of the venue that will limit transport times to key
venues throughout the city, including the Olympic
Village, which will be about a 10 minute drive away.
For spectators, all major Subway lines and multiple
bus stops are just steps away from the venue with
capacity to take thousands of spectators to and
from each hour. See Maps C and D for additional
detail.
