The series of storms that hit our area made many roads impassable. Intercity Transit strives to provide safe and reliable service, but we can only do this when and where conditions allow it. Roads in your area may be clear, but many streets are still too hazardous to travel due to snow, ice, downed trees and power lines. As a thank you to our riders for their patience and understanding, and as a service to our community, no fares will be collected today on Intercity Transit bus service.

We will continue to assess road conditions throughout the day and will post updates on our website and on social media. All current detours can be found on our website at intercitytransit.com/rider-alerts and all standard snow detours can be found at intercitytransit.com/bus/routes/snow-detours. You can also sign up to receive real-time service information from Intercity Transit by text message or email at intercitytransit.com/subscribe.
