Our days are feeling shorter and it’s
getting dark earlier. If you are still out and about on campus as dusk falls, don’t
forget you can use safe campus transportation by riding The T to your next destination.
Familiarize yourself with the late night routes and schedules here.
Vol Tip: If you need to run to the store late at night or go pick up a
friend, try Zipcar. You can reserve self-
service cars by the hour or the day 24/7. There are two cars stationed on the corner of
Twentieth and Andy Holt Avenue near Presidential Courtyard.

pirates during the now-famous rescue of the ship’s Captain Richard Phillips. Gardner now
helps other veterans in UT’s Office of Veterans Affairs. Read her story here.
