Rochelle Ogershok from Metro e-mailed today to clairfy about when Metro's Emergency Network plans, with its special bare-bones bus schedules, will go into effect.
It won't be used for regular snow storms, she explains, only where there is "severe" winter weather like the pounding we took last December. From her e-mail:
'During more typical snow events, riders will be able use the Internet to quickly see which buses in the Metro system are on snow route based on “geographic area.” Green will indicate buses are operating on normal routes, yellow will signify minor reroutes (primarily in higher elevation areas), and red will alert customers that buses in the entire geographic area are on snow route or are being significantly impacted by snow."
