S
❄Service❄ Plan When snow, storms or other special circumstances occur that affect Ride On’s ability to follow normal weekday schedules, bus service may operate under the S Service Plan. Here’s how it will work...
What Routes Will Operate Under the S Service Plan? Ride On will operate all its weekday routes except Route 94 with some service. How Will Service Under the S Service Plan Differ From Normal Weekday Service? The chart inside this brochure shows the first and last trips for different parts of the day for each route under the S Plan. Although we have tried to keep them the same as a normal weekday, some are different. You should check your route for details. The chart also gives an estimated range for how often buses may run on each route, depending on road conditions. Under this plan, we are trying to provide service on each route with trips evenly-spaced apart and no major gaps in service. Buses will be operating under very difficult circumstances, so any times listed are approximations.
What Are the Fares When the S Plan is in Effect? There is no change in fare policy on S Plan days.
operators move from route to route over the course of a day; during the S Service Plan they remain on the same route all day long.
What Happens if There is a Storm or Special Circumstance on a Weekend or a Holiday? On weekends, Ride On will deploy resources, buses and operators, based on the normal Saturday and Sunday schedule requirements. We do not expect, however, normal service performance under severe storm or snow conditions. As with the weekday S Plan, we will try to provide service on all those routes scheduled to operate that day, with trips evenly-spaced apart and no major gaps in service.
Will Ride On Buses Go Off the Regular Route to Serve Special Locations? No. Check the chart inside this brochure or the County’s website for more information about these special locations.
On holidays, the routes will operate as previously announced, usually meaning a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday schedule. However, if Ride On normally follows a modified holiday schedule on that particular holiday, such as on Presidents’ Day for example, the S Plan could be implemented on that day if weather conditions dictated. When Will I Know if Ride On is Operating on the S Service Plan? The announcement to operate an S Service Plan will be made by 4 a.m. on the day the plan goes into effect. Listen to local radio or television stations for an announcement that Ride On will be operating its S Service Plan, or check the County’s website at www.rideonbus.com. Other transit services in the area may use the term “S Schedule,” so listen for information about “Ride On’s S Service Plan”. Will Ride On Use the S Service Plan Countywide, Even If Roads are Clear in Some Areas or Conditions Improve? Once the decision is made to operate the S Service Plan, it will be in effect countywide all day, until 2 AM the next day. We do this because it would be extremely difficult to get our hundreds of buses and drivers back to their regular, more complicated daily operation. Normally at Ride On, buses and their
Will There be Route Detours? There could be detours on your route because of icy hills or other locations that become dangerous during bad weather. Detours will be listed on the County website at www.rideonbus.com under “Detours,” or call 311. Will Ride On Real Time work? Yes. Ride On schedule data will work under the S Service Plan. Are the Bus Trip Times Shown In the Chart From the Beginning of the Route? Yes. Use a timetable to estimate the approximate time the bus will arrive at your bus stop. Remember to allow extra time to get to your bus stop in the case of storms when sidewalks could be dangerous. Your patience is appreciated as Ride On provides the best service possible during difficult conditions. For more information, call 311 or visit the County’s website at www.rideonbus.com.
