Handicap Access

 

The Capitol and the Legislative Plaza are part of an interconnected group of buildings with complete indoor, escalator and elevator access to all areas TISL will be using. With advance request, we will arrange for delegates with special needs to park beneath the Legislative Plaza, from which they can access all areas.

PARKING IN NASHVILLE

TISL has a special parking deal at the Public Square Garage, which is across the street from the DoubleTree Hotel and two blocks from the Capitol.

This is the recommended parking garage for all delegates ... those staying at the DoubleTree Hotel and those commuting from Nashville-area colleges.

 

1. Park at the Public Square Garage, 350 Deaderick Street. Take a parking ticket from the machine.

Important: This is an above-ground garage (see photo). Two blocks away is an underground garage by the same name. Don't be confused.
 

2. At the Capitol, buy a parking pass from the State Treasurer. TISL accepts Check, credit card, or Venmo

One-size-fits-all parking pass: $75 (as of Oct. 2023)
