Snow Detours

CATA will implement snow route detours when roads along some routes become blocked due to winter storm conditions. Twelve of CATA’s routes have detours that go into effect when there is significant snowfall or ice. Snow detours are put in place on a route-by-route basis.

Be Prepared Before it Snows

When Snow Routes are in Effect

Snow route bus stops will be served as routes go on detour and regular stops located on impassable roads will go out of service. All CATA stops located along the detour routing will remain in service.

Snow Safety Tips

Never climb a snow mound at a bus stop or stand in an intersection or roadway to wait for a bus.
If snow blocks your bus stop, walk to the nearest safe and cleared driveway or sidewalk.
Make sure you are visible to your driver from a distance.
Wave to hail your driver so they see you need a ride.
Depending on conditions, your driver may need to stop before or past the spot where you are waiting.
