Austin Transportation (ATD) and the Austin Police Department are also coordinating traffic management to help minimize impacts in the area. ATD’s efforts include:
- A traffic control plan for the events happening at Darrel K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, the new Moody Center, and Bass Concert Hall.
- Monitoring signal timing and making adjustments in real time to help reduce traffic congestion.
- Engaging micromobility providers to ensure devices do not accumulate and impede pedestrian or emergency vehicle access.
If you are not planning to attend the events, please be aware of the increased activity and congestion in the area. If you are attending, consider walking, bicycling or taking CapMetro to get to and from campus without sitting in traffic. For more information on how to get around Austin, visit www.GetThereATX.com.
