MLK Day transportation-related impacts
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 12, 2024) — University of Kentucky Transportation Services’ Customer Service Center will be closed on Monday, Jan. 15, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, an official University holiday.
Some online services will remain available on Monday, but phone calls to the office and emails will not be monitored. Regular office hours will resume at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
Campus Bus Service
Campus bus service will also be affected by the holiday. The Blue, White, Green and Orange bus routes will not be in service on Monday, nor will the late-night On-Demand Night Bus. However, the campus Yellow Route will run from noon to midnight Monday.
All campus bus schedules will return to normal operations on Tuesday, Jan. 16.
UK HealthCare Employees
UK HealthCare employees are allowed to park in UK HealthCare garages and surface lots on official University holidays, as an exception to the UK HealthCare policy. To ensure adequate parking for UK HealthCare patients and patient visitors in the UK HealthCare Garage (PS #8), employees are encouraged to use the Kentucky Clinic Parking Garage (PS #3).
Other than on official University holidays, UK HealthCare policy restricts employee and student parking in UK HealthCare garages and surface lots.
