Snow Detours 2024

Screenshot of website showing where to find public service messages

Winter storm conditions such as significant snowfall or icing can occasionally prevent TCAT buses from safely traveling down certain roads. As such, we have prepared snow detours for routes that traverse some of these usual “problem” areas. Currently, TCAT has pre-established snow detours for the routes 11, 14, 36, 51, 65, and 92. Snow detours are put in place on a route-by-route basis.

Snow detours will be communicated via the alerts section on our home page (red bar), via our two website bus trackers, Availtec and Swiftly, and via the various mobile applications TCAT recommends.
