We would like to kindly remind all passengers that it is their responsibility to ensure walkways, stairs, and driveways are clear of snow and ice. This includes making arrangements to clear these areas again if you go out in the morning before returning home. ❄️
For safety reasons, inadequate snow removal may result in passengers being denied a trip.
In an effort to encourage passengers to cancel unnecessary trips, any cancelled calls will not count towards our cancellation policy. We hope this helps keep everyone safe and allows us to better manage service during the forecasted weather. ❄️
