Emergency Service Network
During a severe storm, Metro may launch a new emergency service network
If an extremely severe snowstorm lasts for several days, Metro may activate its new Emergency Service Plan.
The emergency service network will continue to provide bus service on major roads and connecting service in some neighborhoods. Some areas will have no bus service because of their location or topography.
