Presidential Inauguration
Service Update

Due to the anticipated increased traffic and security measures associated with the 2009 Presidential Inauguration, local and federal authorities are requiring that transportation carriers modify their operations.

UPS will make every effort to provide service as conditions in and around the Washington D.C. area allow. To ensure we are in compliance with the requirements mandated by federal and local authorities, UPS is making the following changes to our package and LTL freight operations in Washington D.C. and the surrounding areas:

Tuesday, January 20 (Inauguration Day)
  • There will be no pickup or delivery service for all District of Columbia ZIP Codes. The UPS Service Guarantee will not apply for shipments affected by the Inauguration event in Washington D.C. 

  • Service delays or disruptions may be experienced in surrounding areas, including Maryland and Virginia due to expected business closures and traffic constraints. UPS service guarantees may not apply.*

  • Many area locations of The UPS Store will be open, although hours of operation are subject to change. Find Nearest Location

  • Area UPS Customer Centers will also be open. Find Nearest Location

Wednesday, January 21

  • Normal delivery and pickup services are scheduled to resume.

  • UPS service guarantees may not apply.*

Please continue to visit ups.com for updated information as the ZIP Codes are subject to change.
 Authorities are expecting heavy traffic to continue in and around the Washington D.C. area for several days after the Inauguration. Additional street closings and other transportation disruptions could affect our operations. A map of restricted areas and road closures is available at: http://www.secretservice.gov/presidential_inaugural.shtml

*UPS Service Guarantees will be suspended for package shipments that receive an "Emergency Conditions" scan, and UPS Freight shipments scanned as "Industry Disruption." Track Your Shipments
