Olympic Transportation System Van Service for People with Disabilities
The 1996 Centennial Olympic Games will truly be the most accessible Games in history.
The Olympic Transportation System (OTS), together with MARTA, Atlanta's public
transportation systems, will deliver spectators from Olympic
Park and Ride lots to most
competition venues. Both the OTS and MARTA systems are fully accessible to people with
disabilities.
At certain venues, there will be some extra service - the OTS Van Service - to help you
access these venues. We, therefore, recommend use of the OTS Van Service to the
following competition venues:

Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium: Exit the
MARTA rail at the West End Station and take the Van Service to the shared accessible
drop-off.
