The transportation plan outlined for the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, will have an effect on most businesses in the area because of traffic congestion, road closures around the venue and celebration sites and additional security measures before, during and after the games.

The sheer magnitude and duration of this event is much longer than related on the two official weeks of the Olympic Games. Security and related activities cover a span of 68 days, beginning Jan. 12 and ending March 21 with the closing of the Paralympic Games.

During this period, special arrangements for after-hours deliveries to restricted zones in the downtown core will be in effect. Traffic congestion will occur on all arterial roads because of road closures and traffic re-routes into and out of the city.

It is our goal to help all our customers meet their transportation needs.
