Capitol DPS Safety Information
Capitol Complex: Bollards Safety Video
Please view this video from the Department of Public Safety for important tips on safely entering the Capitol parking garage and Capitol Drive. Employees and staff using these access points must familiarize themselves with these procedures. Contact the DPS Monitor Room with any questions at: (512) 936-2333.
When approaching the entrance and gate, please have your state-issued ID ready to scan. Come to a complete stop before scanning your ID card. Once scanned, you will hear a beep and see the red light turn to green. Only when the light turns green should you pull forward to pass over the bollards and enter the grounds or parking garage.
Warning: Under no circumstances should you follow another car through the entrance. The bollards could come up unexpectedly and cause extensive vehicle damage. The state of Texas is not liable for any damage caused.
Remember: One Card, One Car.
