► Inclement Weather info

If Lawrence schools close for snow and ice, we close our offices and do not provide transportation on those days to keep everyone safe. And if Lawrence classes start late or end early, we do the same. Please call our office, check out our Facebook Page or check back here if you are unsure of a weather closing.

    ► Holiday and Other Office Closings

Our office is currently CLOSED to visitors during the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, staff is still in the office during regular business hours (M-F 8:30-5:00). Our General Public Transportation service is still operating and available to the public.
