During adverse weather, many factors can impact bus routes such as accidents, detours and changing road conditions. To ensure the safety of passengers, drivers and the general public, bus routes are changed as needed. Changes to routes can happen many times over the course of an adverse weather event and every effort is made to update transit users as information comes available. Please visit this webpage for the latest bus route information and impacts to services. These same updates are also shared on our Twitter feed at @RDN_Transit.
