School districts across Central Texas — including Austin ISD, Del Valle ISD, Hays CISD, Leander ISD, Manor ISD, Pflugerville ISD and Round Rock ISD — have announced closures for Wednesday.
Around noon Tuesday, the Austin Fire Department tweeted that it had responded to more than 90 accidents since midnight, including three that involved its own vehicles.
AFD said the number of crash-related calls it received tripled between 4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. It also noted there were two fires caused by space heaters. CapMetro says it’s making this decision because the weather could put staff and passengers in life-threatening situations. The agency will still help with emergency response efforts, like supplying buses to transport people to cold weather shelters and providing essential trips for MetroAccess customers.
