ACL Shuttles
Take advantage of the Festival Shuttles provided by ACL Fest. Board at Republic Square Park at the corner of 4th & San Antonio streets in downtown Austin and you'll be dropped off outside the Barton Springs West Festival Entrance. When you're finished rocking, hop back on for a return trip to the same spot. Shuttles will run from Republic Square starting at Noon on Friday and starting at 11am on Saturday and Sunday of each weekend.

CapMetro’s MetroAccess also provides and accessible service. For more information on their service click here.
- All vehicles will be screened prior to entering the festival grounds. Please plan accordingly as screening may include magnetometers, pat downs, bag searches and canines. Be advised that both firearm and explosive detection canines will be utilized.
- You will then be directed to the exact location of the Access Parking lot to park your vehicle OR drop-off / pickup an ADA Patron. Parking is very limited, and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Once parked OR dropped off, there will be a special golf cart shuttle at a marked pickup spot that will provide a ride down a hill to a specific location closer to the festival entrance. This golf cart shuttle is optional. If you choose to ride it, you must sign a Release of Liability form provided by the shuttle operator. The golf cart shuttle runs in a loop and can provide a ride back to the Access parking lot from a specific location. No extra stops or requests for special pick up or drop-off point are permitted. The shuttle runs from when the festival gates open until 9pm.
- Once inside the main gates, you can visit the Access Center at the Barton Springs entrance for more information.
