Due to Snow Accumulations, Ride On Will Continue on a Holiday Schedule for Tuesday, Jan. 7; Flash Routes May Be Serviced By Smaller Buses

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, January 7, 2025

Due to snow accumulation, Ride On will continue running on a Holiday schedule on Tuesday, Jan. 7, resulting in reduced service on all routes. Inclement weather may lead to delays and detours, so riders should expect delays. Due to ice, buses may not be able to reach bus stops on hills, so be prepared for boarding on more level surfaces.

Flash routes will use branded and non-branded buses. Destination signs will identify buses serving the Flash Blue and Orange routes. For more information about service delays or detours, visit RideOnBus.com.

Riders can plan trips online using the free Ride On Trip Planner App.
