Section 6: Transportation & Parking Information

The OCCC Transportation Section develops weekly comprehensive traffic plans to facilitate the movement of vehicles and pedestrians in a safe and timely manner. For planning purposes, listed below is a brief summary of OCCC Transportation guidelines that are applicable to all lessees, exhibitors and attendees.

• Bus Move Requests

• Directional Signage

• Parking (ADA, Labor and Short Term)

• Overnight Parking

• Traffic Coordination

• Traffic Staff (Traffic Coordinator and Traffic Master)

Bus Move Requests

For exhibitors and/or groups requesting a bus move (curb space) at the OCCC during a specific contracted event, a Bus Move Request (BMR) form must be completed and sent to the OCCC Transportation section, who will submit this form to the convention/show manager (or designee) for their approval. Once a decision is obtained, the OCCC will contact the requesting party to confirm the approval or denial of the bus move request. The approval process may take up to two weeks.

Show management should not use this form, but instead contact your Event Manager for further information.

Directional Signage

The OCCC Transportation section has an exterior directional signage system known as the Dynamic Messaging System (DMS), programmed on a daily basis to direct local and out-of-town show attendees to the closest available parking lot locations. Depending on the events/trade show activity within the facility, these DMS signs can be programmed to direct arriving guests to park at either the West Building, the North side of the North-South Building, the South side of the North-South Building, or to any of the other off-site parking lot locations available. With three buildings in total, directional signage can be a great resource when using rideshare services, such as Uber or Lyft, to direct drivers to the correct pick-up and drop-off locations. The Digital Messaging System (DMS) will clearly display which side each respective show is on, upon arrival to the International Drive area.
