If the Victory Celebration for the Cavaliers is any indication, the RNC will be a mess

Transportation wise, was a mess today for the NBA Championship rally in Downtown Cleveland. Getting in to town took many hours as the buses and train were filled to capacity leaving people waiting at bus stops and metro stations. One metro station was said to have a line stretching for more than a mile. Parking was prohibited in most places and then the same problems were reported after the rally.

The RTA responded citing lack of funding to support such large crowds.

I am thinking that with the security zone, parking will be just as difficult and most of the attendees will need to use the transit system.
