Transit service during unexpected or civic events
In areas where there are transit service disruptions due to crowds, traffic, weather or civic events, transit riders are advised to
- Be aware of conditions in their immediate vicinity, such as street closures, detours, police directions, etc.
- Be prepared for delays or to make revisions to travel plans, such as traveling at a different time or using a different bus stop or route, depending on specific circumstances.
- Be prepared for unexpectedly revised traffic or routing, and for delays in transit service.
- Know the alternate stops or routes that may be in the vicinity of starting points and destinations.

Such events may be scheduled or unexpected, and may disrupt normal travel patterns or activities even outside of the event area.

While every effort will be made to keep riders informed of Metro’s service status, depending on the time and the nature of such events, Metro may not be able to provide real-time information or service updates via email or text.

Metro will also be following police direction or other applicable protocols, with safety as the first concern, and will work to maintain or restore service as soon as possible.

Event start and end times and other details may be unknown or subject to change.
