67 TRANSPORTATION Transportation Crew Chiefs: Alysha, Rhan, Cara, Erin, Joey, Bill, Marisol, Chris Transportation Crew Days of Operation: March 7 – 20, 2016 Transportation Crew Check In: Report to the Austin Hilton Room 404 on the 4th Floor at the top of the escalators for each shift. Transportation Crew Duties/Areas of Responsibility: Transportation's primary mission is to pick- up and deliver people and things by any means necessary. Most of the time we do this by mini-van, 15-passenger vans, and pickup trucks. We occasionally do this by foot, picking-up or escorting individuals to nearby locations. Transportation Crew Attire and Reminders: Transportation Crew Volunteers should wear their SXSW Volunteer t-shirt and tasteful bottoms. Volunteers will sometimes be working outside, so be prepared for changes in the weather, from hot to cold, wet to dry and everything else in between. Remember, Austin weather in March can sometimes be unpredictable and dressing in layers is a good idea. Plus, it's often cold in the Hilton! If you will be working before you receive your credential (for example, you may be waiting for a music madge, but working during Interactive) you will need to pick up a working volunteer day pass from your crew chief. What Else Should Volunteers Know About the Transportation Crew: You could be transporting staff, visitors, inanimate objects, etc., to theaters, IA venues, music venues, and other random places. You must be over 21, with a valid driver's license and insurance. You must be comfortable driving in crazy traffic and maneuvering large vehicles into small spaces. Everyone loves transpo! How to Contact the Transportation Crew: Volunteers who work on the Transpo Crew are asked to first email the crew chiefs if you are going to be late, miss a shift or need other assistance, time permitting. The Transportation Crew email is sxtransportation@gmail.com. For urgent matters volunteers can call the Transpo Crew Chief on duty while onsite at 405-TRANSPO (405-872-6776). If it's less than 2 hours prior to the start of your shift, call the Flake Task Force at (512) 404-4623 if you're going to be late or miss the shift.
