Hitting the road
There is some good news if you're planning a road trip. TxDOT is not planning any significant construction closures this holiday weekend, but don't take that as a reason to burn rubber! DPS says it will be out in force, ticketing impaired drivers, speeders, and those without seat belts.
Transit services
METRO will operate a Sunday schedule on Labor Day. There will be no Park & Ride service. All HOV/HOT lanes will be closed.
Ridesharing
If you're looking to ride-share as you celebrate, you can get a break on the price with this LYFT promo code: RIDESMARTLD. It's valid Friday at noon through Monday night.
