Sound Transit Winter Weather Advisory

 

Beginning Friday afternoon, and continuing through the weekend, transit service may be affected by snow or ice.  It is not possible to determine what areas or service – if any – could be affected, as forecasts and predictions are constantly changing.

 

Visit our snow reroutes page to review your routes pre-planned snow reroute in preparation for the storm. If your bus does not have a pre-planned snow route, it will operate its regular route; however riders should anticipate delays due to weather and road conditions and canceled trips. Road conditions can change at any time causing additional stops closures and changes to the pre-planned snow reroutes with little to no notice.

 

Transit customers are advised to wait for buses at posted bus stops on flat portions of cleared arterials or at major transfer points, such as park-and-ride lots and transit centers where there may be multiple service options. Please use caution at our stations and bus stops. Be prepared for snow and ice on platforms, stairs and parking lots. Sound Transit will have crews out in the field working to clear snow and ice from our facilities, but be prepared in case your facility has not been cleared by the time you arrive.

 

During adverse weather it is not possible to know when a bus will arrive at a specific location or to provide service updates at the individual trip or stop level. Use regularly published timetables as a guide, monitor our Rider Alerts Page for route updates, be aware of conditions in your area and be prepared for delays. 

 

Riders should monitor local media outlets or visit @Seattledot or @WSDOT_traffic for information on traffic conditions and street closures. 

 

For service information on Sound Transit’s regional transit partners, visit Metro’s Snow Alerts, King County Water Taxi, Community Transit, Pierce Transit, Seattle Streetcar, or Washington State Ferries.

On Facebook, a light rail operator was saying some of them were camping out at the ops facility, so they can get to work. Going to be tough for me to get to work in Ballard on Monday.
