Spring has arrived in Austin, bringing with it the Spring Festival Season. The downtown area is expected to be bustling with activity, and road closures and detours are anticipated to increase congestion. Those who can walk, bike, or use public transit are encouraged to do so. Teleworking is also suggested for those who have the option.
Festival attendees are advised to utilize the city's downtown mobility options, such as the CapMetro Bikeshare system, walking, and public transit. For those attending events and choosing to drink, the city offers a parking ticket waiver program for leaving cars overnight. Attendees should save their receipt from a safe ride home and complete the waiver form at AustinTexas.gov/GetHomeSafely.
