The authors examine the problems of transportation planning for special events such as Worlds Fairs, Olympic Games etc., and use as a case study the experiences gained at EXPO 86 in Vancouver. Results indicate that sufficient flexibility exists in the urban infrastructure to accommodate the transport access and parking requirements of major, short‐term special events. |
