Juneteenth is Observed on Monday, June 20

Campus parking and bus schedules will change in observance of Juneteenth, June 20. Juneteenth is an official University holiday.



Campus Bus Routes

Campus bus routes, including the Blue and White Routes (Lextran 14), the Green Route, and the Orange Route (UK HealthCare Route) will not be in service on Monday, but will resume their regular summer schedules on Tuesday, June 21.

Parking on Juneteenth

Many campus parking lots will also be off control on Juneteenth. With the reduced demand for parking, students and employees may take advantage of additional parking options that day.

However, even when lots are not controlled for permits, they are still monitored for other parking violations, such as parking in fire lanes, parking on yellow lines, and unauthorized parking in ADA-accessible areas.

UK HealthCare (UKHC) employees may also take advantage of proximate employee lots on this holiday, following UKHC’s policy. Attendants will not be on duty, but to ensure adequate parking for patients and visitors, employees are asked to use the Kentucky Clinic Parking Garage (PS #3) rather than the UK HealthCare Garage (PS #8).



Selected UK HealthCare patient shuttles will continue to run on Juneteenth, including the main Chandler Hospital patient shuttle, which will be in operation from 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., and the emergency department van, which will be available on demand all day and night by calling 859-983-7323. The concourse golf cart will also be available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The UK Transportation Services' Customer Service Center will be closed on Juneteenth. Regular office hours -- 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. -- will resume on Tuesday, June 21. UK Transportation Services is located at 721 Press Avenue.
