[Updated Dec 2012]

The WRTA works in all kinds of weather to provide safe, reliable, and convenient service. In some cases, this means using alternate routings. Snow routes and detour information is available from drivers, from signs posted on the buses, through radio station announcements, the WRTA website, Text Messaging, WRTA Facebook & Twitter pages, the WRTA’s mobile friendly site, and the WRTA’s 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 destination sign on the front and side of the bus to determine if changes are in effect for the bus that you are riding. The sign will flash SNOW ROUTE when they are in effect.

No Route Changes Due to Snow: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 25, 26, 30, 31, 33, 42.
