Validation
Validation will be provided to City employees doing business at the OTC, members of the news media, and those participating in active Board and Commission meetings conducted in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act and posted on the Austin City Clerk's website.
Validation will not be provided for members of the public conducting business at the facility. While single-occupant vehicle usage is convenient, the City encourages business visitors to explore sustainable options to reach the PDC. Several CapMetro Bus routes stop within three blocks of One Texas Center. On-site bicycle storage facilities are also available. These options align with the city's Austin Strategic Mobility Plan goal to reduce the share of single-occupant vehicle trips to less than 50% by 2039.
