Race-day shuttle service to provide convenient transportation between airport and Indy 500 on Sunday, May 27
Indy 500 fans looking for a fast way to get to this year’s race will have a convenient option on race day at the Indianapolis International Airport (IND). Whether arriving on a flight or taking advantage of a special parking rate at the airport garage, racegoers will be able to catch a continuous shuttle service between 8 a.m. and noon on Sunday, May 27. Return trips will run for three hours after the race ends; shuttles will also be available for early departures.
Tickets, which cover roundtrip transportation, are $25 per person and can be purchased at the Star of America booth at IND on the day of the race or in advance online at www.indy500parking.com or www.indysportsparking.com.
Shuttle passengers who park at the airport garage can obtain a $10 parking rate by showing a race ticket stub to the cashier when exiting. Without a stub, regular rates will apply ($18 daily maximum).
From the airport, shuttles will depart from the ground transportation lobby in Zone 1. Returning shuttles will depart from the main east gate parking lot on the southeast corner of 16th Street and Polco Street (across from the main tunnel entrance).
The shuttles will be provided by the Free Enterprise System and Star of America Motor Coach Companies in partnership with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
More information is available by calling 800.255.1337.
Race fans who choose to drive to the event should also be aware of new ramps at I-74 and Crawfordsville Road. More information is available via the Indiana Department of Transportation Indy 500 alert.
