CapMetro suspending non-emergency services Feb. 3, operating critical service Feb. 4

AUSTIN, Texas - Capital Metro's non-emergency services will be suspended for the entirety of Thursday, Feb. 3 due to forecasted wintry weather.

Non-emergency services include all bus, rail, and other public transportation services.

On Friday, Feb. 4, CapMetro will operate a Critical Service Schedule from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and operate at 30 or 60 minute frequencies. The routes included will be those serving locations like medical facilities and grocery stores. You can view the schedule here.

CapMetro will be assisting the City of Austin in emergency transportation. This includes bringing people to warming centers and overnight cold shelters.

The Austin community is encouraged to avoid non-essential travel for the next few days as an arctic cold front approaches Central Texas. The front brings the possibility of freezing rain on roads, which makes travel dangerous.
