Getting to KeyBank Center
Metro Rail stop right beside the arena
The NFTA Metro Rail now terminates at the new DL&W station, which sits immediately next to KeyBank Center with a skybridge link, having replaced the old Special Events stop that used to serve the arena before and after games.
Park and ride stations for event nights
Fans driving in from outside downtown can leave their car for free and ride the Metro Rail in from University Station or LaSalle Station, both on Main Street in North Buffalo.

Dedicated rideshare drop off zone
Uber is the official rideshare partner of KeyBank Center and runs a designated Uber Zone pickup and drop off lane on Scott Street between Washington Street and Michigan Avenue, reached by leaving the arena through the centre exit doors at Perry Street.
On site cashless car parks
The main on site options are the KeyBank Center parking ramp on Illinois Street, a surface lot, and the neighbouring LECOM Harborcenter ramp on Perry Street, with several unaffiliated lots within walking distance on streets such as Scott, Exchange, Pearl, Washington, Seneca and Swan.

No direct rail link from the airport
There is no direct public transit line from Buffalo Niagara International Airport to KeyBank Center, so spectators flying in typically rely on rideshare, taxi or a rental car rather than transit for that leg.
