City of Amarillo services resume normal operations Monday February 22. The city closed many offices this week to aid in the effort to conserve the Amarillo area’s energy supply during the recent dangerous winter weather.

The Amarillo Public Health Department COVID-19 walk-in vaccination clinic at the Amarillo Civic Center will operate under normal conditions beginning Monday with vaccinations available for individuals in groups 1A  and 1B and those scheduled to receive second doses.

The Amarillo Public Health Department COVID-19 Report Card will be released Monday as well.

“Many residents and businesses in the Amarillo community responded to the need to conserve energy this week, and it definitely made a difference,” said City Manager Jared Miller. “This was a unique weather event across the state and region. Fortunately, the people of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle come together during times of adversity. The inclement weather and the response of our community is another example of that.”

All Amarillo Police Department and Amarillo Fire Department operations will continue as normal. Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport is operating as normal. Amarillo City Transit is operating. Routes may be changed or delayed due to weather conditions. The city asks riders to use the OneRide app to check for possible delays or call (806) 378-3095.
