Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) is pleased to share programs that help address food insecurity and improve access to essential resources for students. Whether you're looking to give back or take advantage of available services, there are several ways to get involved.
Pay Off Citations with Donations
We're excited to announce the return of the Donations for Citations program.
If you have an eligible outstanding parking citation, you can pay it off by donating eligible items, including rice and unscented baby wipes, at PTS drop-off locations. All contributions benefit the UT Outpost food pantry, helping students in need, and the Child Development Center, which provides childcare services for students, faculty, and staff.
Even if you don’t have a citation, you can still participate.
The program runs through April 30 and is a collaborative effort between PTS, UT Outpost, and the Child Development Center.

Get a Ride to the Grocery Store
The PTS Shop Shuttle provides free, round-trip transportation from campus to a local grocery store, making it easier for students to access groceries and essential items.
The shuttle operates from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on select Saturdays and Sundays throughout the semester. It serves stops at East Campus Graduate Apartments, 2400 Nueces (N24), Almetris Duren Residence Hall (ADH), and Moore-Hill Residence Hall (MHD), providing a convenient option for students living on campus.
E-Scooter Safety Reminder
As e-scooter use continues to grow on campus, please follow safety guidelines: yield to pedestrians, use bike lanes where available, park in designated areas, avoid bringing scooters into university buildings, and ride responsibly. Unsafe riding may result in citations and other penalties.
Thank you for helping make the Forty Acres a community where every Longhorn can thrive.
