Even the day after Christmas isn’t too late for your to solidify your New Year’s eve plans. And as you map out how you’d like to celebrate First Night in Boston, from checking out the ice sculptures on Boston Common to locking down a spot to watch the fireworks, don’t forget to consider transportation.

The City of Boston recently released a traffic advisory to help you avoid traffic while easily navigating around street closures and parking bans.

The most viable solution for heading downtown to enjoy all of the New Year’s festivities, though, is to utilize the MBTA, and the city concurs. As noted in a statement by the Boston Transportation Department, “Those coming into the City of Boston to join in the celebration are strongly encouraged to leave their personal cars at home and take the T.”

But if you’re feeling bold and brazen on Tuesday, December 31, and opt to haul your vehicle into The Hub, there are a few things to consider:

Temporary Street Closures Will Be As Follows:

• Boylston Street, from Massachusetts Avenue to Tremont Street, will be closed to vehicular traffic from 4 to 8 PM
