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
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
