If the forecast hints at possible snowfall, we prepare and plan to provide as much service as possible before any snow hits the ground.
We want you to prepare, too! Here are some tips and links to resources to help you keep informed about our service when snow and ice threaten to delay, reroute or cause service cancellations.
We're currently updating snow schedules and maps to reflect our service changes that began on Sept. 14, 2024. Check back soon for more updates.
Snow routes let drivers and riders know the safest routing a bus will take on days when snow or icy road conditions impact our service.

Snow Routes
Snow Routes determine the portion of the road that will not be served. When it snows, our buses may take a different path than usual and not serve some stops. We've identified areas of a route or stops that may be difficult to serve during icy road conditions or stops. For example, buses may not serve areas along a route due to hills.
Note: not all buses will be on a snow route. Road conditions may require one route to use a snow route and others on a regular route.
Please use Find My Bus to track your bus, see if it's on Snow Route, and if there are any closed stops. Rider Alerts will also tell you if the snow route your bus is traveling differs from what appears on the snow route map.
Snow Schedules
During snow events, articulated buses are not used, reducing service by about 25%. Most trips that continue to operate might experience delays from the regular schedule. Snow Schedules help account for these factors.
We've identified and "precancelled" certain trips to help us continue providing consistent service.
