MVTA Snow Reroute Information 2014-2015

Another Minnesota Winter! Listen to WCCO radio (830 AM) or check our website for updates regarding MVTA routes. If a "Snow Emergency with Reroutes" is declared, express routes will run from major park & ride lots only; most local routes will run with slight modifications; and some local routes will not operate.

Wait on main plowed roads - buses will not pull into unplowed park & ride lots. Be prepared to take buses scheduled to leave at earlier times, or buses from other locations. Additional service may be offered in the event of early work closings. Dress for the weather - buses may be delayed.
