Light Snow Routes

All Metrobus routes are expected to operate during a light snowfall. Some routes have known problem areas because of factors like hilly terrain or narrow streets that could prevent buses from operating safely until those areas are cleared and treated. When conditions prevent safe operation, buses will detour on a route-by-route basis. Passengers may experience increased wait times due to road conditions.

Service status and notice of snow detours are sent by email or text message through MetroAlerts and posted on the Metrobus alerts and advisories page. It's important to remember that during a light snowfall, routes with snow detours may still be running the regular route.

Should conditions worsen, familiarize yourself with moderate snow routes and severe snow routes.
