Snow Routes

[Effective August 2006]
The WRTA works in all kinds of weather to provide safe, reliable, and convenient service. In some cases, this means using alternate routings. Snow route and detour information is available from drivers, from signs posted on the buses, through radio station announcements, and the WRTA’s telephone information number 508.791.WRTA (9782). Snow route detours are also shown on the map of each printed schedule.

To ensure the safety of both passengers and drivers, the WRTA has established the following SNOW ROUTES during winter weather conditions.

Look for the red SNOW ROUTE sign as you enter the bus to determine if changes are in effect for the bus you are riding. (If there is no change, a REGULAR ROUTE sign will be in place).

The routes listed below are subject to change!
No Route Changes Due to Snow: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 25, 26, 30, 42, 110
