Silo Trolley Info
TEMPORARILY OUT OF SERVICE The Silo District Trolley is designed to make getting around Downtown Waco fast and convenient. Follow the signs to FREE parking and ride the TROLLEY for FREE! The trolley’s route makes it easy to get to Waco’s most popular shopping, dining and art venues in the downtown area.
This is a FLAG-STOP route, meaning you can catch the bus at any safe location along the route by waving your arm and making eye contact with the driver.
Public Parking Downtown
There’s plenty of parking in Downtown Waco when you know where to look. Let us help you find it. Find parking indicated in red on the Silo trolley map above.
-Parking along Austin Avenue Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. has a two-hour limit
-The city parking garage is at 4th and Franklin and the entrance to that garage faces an alley parallel to Austin Avenue. Look for the black and white pillar that says PARK
Gameday Downtown
Where should you park for Baylor University games at McLane Stadium? We’ve made that easy by providing FREE parking downtown and FREE shuttle to McLane Stadium and back downtown. While you’re down here, grab dinner downtown before the game or a celebratory drink after.
The City will run 6 shuttles to accommodate fans.
Catching the Shuttle:
The shuttle picks up at 3rd St. and Franklin Ave., in front of the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce.
The shuttle starts running 3 hours before game time and continues until one hour after the game. There is an 8 to 10 minute turnaround time per vehicle (2.2 mile route to stadium). Shuttles run before, after and during the game.
There is plenty of parking in and around downtown near the shuttle pick-up area. Find the lots, indicated in red, on the Silo trolley map above.
