Extreme Weather

Be prepared for winter weather before it arrives by following these tips:

• Follow LTD on social media for winter weather tips and service alerts.
• Subscribe to text alerts you can stay in-the-know on-the-go about detours and delays. Use the online subscriber form so to subscribe to Service Alerts for specific bus routes.
• Download the Umo app and turn notifications on for service alerts.
• Look for the blue snowflake symbol next to the routes you use in the Rider’s Guide and at LTD.org . Routes with the snowflake symbol are more likely to be affected by winter weather.

• Stand back from the curb until the bus comes to a complete stop; buses may slide sideways in slippery conditions. Give the operator plenty of notice when signaling for your stop.
• Buses might not be able to pull all the way over to the curb because of snow and slush. Once the bus is stopped, riders may need to step into the road.
• Use handrails when getting on and off the bus. Snow can accumulate on the stairs and in the aisle, making them slippery.
• If an EmX stop is blocked by snow or ice, LTD will make every effort to use an alternate stop as close as possible to the original stop.
• Expect delays. Chained buses can’t travel more than 25 mph.
• Dress warmly.
• Make sure you’re visible.
