The new Phoenix Light Rail system will be in operation for our event, including a stop less than two blocks from Margaret T. Hance Park, our Games venue.

The route also travels directly to our Host Hotel, Extended Stay America, also about two blocks from a station.

During the event, our own shuttle buses will service the Games, the Host Hotel and nearby parking areas. But visitors can also use the Light Rail to reach us from anywhere on the 20-mile line.

In addition, there will be free shuttle service from Sky Harbor Airport to a nearby light rail station, with access to downtown Phoenix and all its attractions as well as our Hotel and Park.
