LCTA CONNECTS:
When LCTA fixed route buses are on Snow Routes, LCTA CONNECTS microtransit service will operate roads as per driver discretion. Pick-ups and drop-offs should be able to be completed since there are no standard fixed routes and drivers can use alternate roads provided it is safe to do so.
If Fixed Route service is suspended or stopped, microtransit service will be suspended or stopped as well.
SHARED RIDE:
Shared Ride Paratransit Service will operate roads as per driver discretion. Clients may be called to verify pick-ups to avoid no-shows and unnecessary travel.
If Fixed Route service is suspended or stopped, Shared Ride paratransit service will be suspended or stopped as well.
