Snow and Ice Safety
During inclement weather, all C-TRAN routes will likely be delayed. Please plan ahead and remember these important safety tips before venturing out:
- Wear extra warm clothing. Buses may be delayed or your snow route may require a longer walk than usual to reach the closest stop.
- Wear or carry something reflective so your driver can see you. Consider using a flashlight to make yourself more visible.
- Stay on the curb. Buses may slide before coming to a complete stop.
- SafeStop—during inclement weather, passengers may request a stop anywhere along their route as safety allows.
