Be Prepared For Winter!
It is that time of the year when snow, slippery sidewalks and slick streets can arrive overnight. Know your winter bus route before winter arrives. Here are four ways to prepare right now to travel by LTD bus during snow and icy weather:
1. Go to LTD.org, click on the routes you use and see if there is a blue snowflake symbol displayed on the route. This indicates that on snow or ice days, your route could be delayed or detoured. Plan ahead when snow is forecasted and expect delays.
2. Follow LTD on Twitter (@LaneTransit). The LTD website Service Alerts page and Twitter will be updated regularly, and local news sources will be kept informed, as well.
3. Prepare a grab-and-go bag of snowy day essentials, such as a hat, scarf and gloves, a clip-on light to keep your hands free and spare socks.
4. Remember to tune into the local television or radio newscast for weather conditions and closures.
Standard Snow & Ice detour maps are available online at LTD.org or at the Customer Service Center at the Eugene Station.
