TXDoT needs a plan for carpooling or group transit for its employees

https://www.kut.org/austin/2025-04-07/t … ces-garage

Just a week into a push to get workers back into the office, employees with Texas' transportation agency are struggling to find parking.

So, they're parking illegally.

An employee with the Texas Department of Transportation reached out to KUT on Thursday, saying the agency is allowing workers to park in fire lanes at its 1,600-employee campus near Stassney Lane and Burleson Road. The person asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.

Classic.  DPS workers parked in the bike lane along north Guadalupe for years.  Maybe still do, but I haven't been in that area for a while.

It's not just workers at some random business or agency doing the bad parking, it's workers at agencies responsible for TRANSPORTATION and ENFORCING LAWS that are doing it.  Nice.

Laws for thee, not laws for me.
