As another class of UAB students graduates, UAB Transportation recommends traveling an alternate route to and from work during commencement activities Dec. 13 and 14.
The Graduate School commencement is scheduled 6 p.m. Dec. 13 and undergraduate ceremonies will be 9:30 a.m. Dec. 14, both in Bartow Arena. Because of construction around campus, commuters can expect congestion and traffic-flow changes, including temporary one-way streets.
Planning an alternate route is the best way to ensure your commute is less affected by commencement, says Brian Atkinson, program manager for transportation demand management. He recommends using traffic maps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze, all available for iOS and Android devices, to monitor traffic congestion information during travel time.
Blazer Express routes will not change during commencement days, but the North Green route may experience delays, Atkinson says. Monitor Blazer Express bus locations in real time on the Doublemap Bus Tracker app, available for iOS and Android, or at doublemap.uab.edu.
