AUSTIN (KXAN) - As Austin sees temperatures drop Sunday night, the city of Austin will open its overnight cold weather shelters from Jan. 5 through Jan. 9.
Registration to stay at the shelters will occur each day between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at One Texas Center, located at 505 Barton Springs Road, the city said. The location will also act as a central transportation point for people seeking overnight shelter.
The city said its shelters open when forecasted overnight temperatures at Camp Mabry are expected to reach 35 degrees or below.
Bus routes to the One Texas Center are lines: 1, 7, 10, 20, 30, 105, 142 and 801. The city said those needing a ride to a cold-weather shelter without a way to pay will still be given a ride.
An after-hours transportation service will still be available to those seeking shelter outside of the original departure period.
The city encouraged anyone needing a warm place to sleep at night to use the service. For more information about using a cold-weather shelter, you can call the cold-weather hotline at 512-972-5055.
The city said it does not include a list of cold-weather shelter locations for various reasons such as managing capacity limits and privacy concerns.
