Winter Weather Emergency Service Plan (ESP) Updated

Posted: 12/18/2024

 

Winter is upon us! OmniRide has updated the Winter Weather Emergency Service Plan (ESP), which is available here. Don’t wait until winter weather is predicted to review the plan!

If/when winter weather is predicted, OmniRide will monitor conditions. If service changes are warranted, starting at 4 a.m. for morning service and at 11 a.m. for afternoon service, customers should check for:  

  • A Rider Express e-mail advisory; 
  • A special alert on the home page of the OmniRide website; 
  • A recorded message at (703) 730-6664 or long-distance (888) 730-6664; 
  • Announcements on local television stations and on WTOP radio (103.5 FM) if time and circumstances warrant.

REMEMBER:  No news is good news. If you don't see a service update alert, OmniRide buses are operating regular service. 

Note that the ESP covers weather-related and other situations that can impact OmniRide’s ability to operate regular service.
