Emergency Information

Garages

• When the University closes for bad weather reasons, all gates will be open in all locations to allow for easy exit.  At the San Jacinto Garage, the entrance/exit onto San Jacinto St (Level 1) will be closed within 45 minutes-1 hour  of the official closure or when ice begins to develop on the ramp.  The ramp will be barricaded off if the potential for icy conditions exist.  All patrons can exit the San Jacinto garage from level 3 – Trinity Street exit.
• All customers who will be leaving their vehicles in the garage should move those vehicles off of the roof of the garage to at least a level below the roof.  Level restrictions will be temporary lifted and will not go back into effect until the University re-opens.

Shuttle Service

• Every attempt will be made to operate UT Shuttle service 5 hours after the official University closing.  Additionally when there is a need to "empty" the campus, shuttle resources may be reallocated from the Forty Acres (FA) and West Campus (WC) routes to serve the radial/commuter routes (Riverside, Far West, Lake Austin, etc).
• If the University is closed on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday there is a strong possibility that Capital Metro E-Bus service will not operate that evening.
• When the University is opening under a delayed start, shuttle service will resume 1 hour before the delayed start time.
  
  Please refer to the Capital Metro Web site for exact service levels and schedules

Events

Events with contractual agreements will remain on a normal schedule unless stated otherwise.

Fleet

Most of our vehicles and utility carts have limited coverage under the UT System Auto Liability Plan. This policy does not cover damages as a result of a storm, so it is important to seek covered protection when possible. If covered parking is not already provided, all vehicles, including utility carts, should be moved to the Manor (MAG) and Speedway (SWG) garages and removed as quickly as possible after the University reopens. Vehicles that will be used during the emergency should top off their tanks with fuel in the event there is a loss of power at our fueling facility.
