Boosted metro frequency on event weekend

No spectator parking, park goes car free
Parc Jean-Drapeau is closed to private cars for the event and no designated public parking is provided for spectators at the circuit itself. Driving is therefore not recommended as a way to reach the venue.

Rideshare and taxi drop off away from the island
Taxis and rideshare vehicles cannot drop off or collect passengers directly on Notre Dame Island itself on event days. Dedicated pick up and drop off points are instead located on the neighbouring Saint Helen's Island, near the ferry terminal and the Concorde Bridge area.

On-site shuttle buses within the park
Special STM shuttle buses run from Jean-Drapeau station to different areas inside Parc Jean-Drapeau during race weekend to cut down on walking, and a free 777 bus also links the metro exit to the Casino area.
