NEWS ADVISORY
METRO Park & Ride Service Cancelled for Today
METRO has cancelled all Park & Ride service due to extreme icing conditions on local freeways and overpasses. METRO expects to resume Park & Ride service on Monday.
HOV lanes will not be open due to severe icing conditions.
METRO continues to provide all scheduled weekday local bus service but with delays due to detours as required to avoid ice and other unsafe roadway conditions.
METRO rail service has been modified with double cars at 10 minute frequencies rather than the usual six minute intervals.
Weather and road conditions will be monitored and services adjusted as needed.
METRO will continue to offer warming vehicles at 20 Transit Centers as weather conditions dictate.
For more information, customers are encouraged to visit www.ridemetro.org or call 713-635-4000.
