Austin-Travis County EMS (ATCEMS) was founded as the City of Austin EMS in 1976 as a third service EMS agency serving the City of Austin and Travis County. ATCEMS provides 911 communications and emergency medical response to residents and visitors of Austin and Travis County. In 1998, Austin EMS formalized its relationship with Travis County through an interlocal agreement that continues to exist today, forming what

we now know as Austin-Travis County EMS. In 2012, ATCEMS became the first third service EMS system to be included under State Civil Service law, which previously only included fire and law enforcement. In addition to managing day-to-day emergencies in Austin and Travis County, ATCEMS provides medical coverage for hundreds of special events each year.
