Inclement Weather:
We make every effort to operate during inclement weather, including heavy rains, high winds, and winter snow or ice. We must operate safely for our team members and customers. There may be cancellations, reductions in service, and delays. Check for the latest update before you leave.

Tips during periods of uncertainty:
- Buses will travel slowly. Expect delays.
- Prepare for being at the bus stop -wear proper clothing, carry an umbrella, and use reflective items or lights for low daylight.
- If there is low to no traffic, or no buses passing by- walk to a stop on a busy street.
- For stops on hills, walk to the bottom or the top of the hill so that the bus can stop safely without back-sliding.
- Stand back from the curb and wait for the bus to stop moving before approaching.
- Your bus may not drive into puddles, snow, or ice at the stop if the Operator believes the bus could get stuck.
- Inside the bus, floors may be wet and slippery. Be cautious.
