Essentials for Safe and Enjoyable Travel

Good travel starts before you step out the door. Match mode to intent, plan contingencies, and prioritize safety and comfort so the journey becomes part of the celebration.

Transportation shapes the festival day from first mile to last. Essentials include choosing the right mode for your group and goals, packing for comfort and contingencies, and scheduling around peak arrival and departure windows.

• Pre-book and confirm: Reserve parking, shuttles, or transit passes where possible and note pickup/dropoff zones and curfew or exit restrictions.
• Packing for contingencies: Charger or power bank, refillable water bottle, compact rain layer, small first-aid kit, portable snacks, and a printed meeting point or group contact method.
• Time and staggered plans: Arrive early to secure parking and good positions; stagger departures to avoid peak surge and long lines.
• Group coordination: Share live locations, meeting times, and a fallback rendezvous; designate a sober driver or trusted contact when applicable.
• Vehicle and personal safety checks: Vehicle inspection for cars; helmet and reflective gear for bikes; secure locks for personal items; follow transit and shuttle policies.
• Comfort & ritual: Curate a travel playlist, plan comfort breaks, and bring small luxuries that make transit restful—eye mask, neck pillow, favorite snack.
• Sustainability & community: Consider carpooling, public transit, or bike options to reduce congestion and support local quality of life.

With a simple plan and the right supplies, transportation becomes less about stress and more about rhythm: the group that travels well together experiences the event together.
