Games Transportation

During the days of competition (June 27 - July 6, 2025) the 2025 World Police & Fire Games is offering complimentary round trip transportation service to A SELECTED NUMBER of the sporting venues. All transportation to the selected sport venues will run out of the BJCC. Not ALL venues are serviced. You must catch a bus at the BJCC to get to a sporting venue if you choose to take Games Transportation. This service is provided for credentialed athletes, family, and friends from the BJCC.

Transportation to Sport Venues

A detailed games transportation plan will be included in your sport confirmation form and on each individual sport webpage if that sport has transportation. Some sports are within walking distance of the Hotel Shuttle Hub at the BJCC. These sports can be accessed from the Downtown Hotel Shuttle and then walking from the BJCC Hub point.

Direct Shuttles

A Direct shuttle is a departure at a specific time and then a return at a specific time. There will be only one trip to and back from the BJCC and Sport Venue. Direct shuttles to venue schedules will be included in your Sport Confirmation Letters which will be sent no later than June 1, 2025 as well as located on BHM2025.com/transportation. Venues located outside of Greater Birmingham city limits and or not serviced by regular transit routes may be serviced by the Games dedicated shuttles.

Dedicated shuttles will depart from a central transit hub located in close proximity to the Main Accreditation Center located at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Center off of 9th street in front of the East Hall Entrance.

Please Note: Those who plan to use the Games Transportation service will need to select the Games Transportation during registration. This will help us make sure we can allocate the correct number of buses for the venues we will service. Although this is not required to ride the shuttle it will help us make sure to plan as best we can based on equipment needs by venue.

Transportation to Opening Ceremonies, Athletes' Village, and Closing Ceremonies

The Athletes Village located in City Walk, downtown Birmingham, is easily accessible by driving or simply riding the Games Downtown Hotel Shuttle.
