Snow and Ice Clearing Strategy
- Niagara Transit employs 3rd party contractors to clear 1,742 bus stops across the region.
- These stops are cleared in a priority list based on ridership levels of the various stops (high-volume stops will be cleared first)
- Contractors may wait 24 hours after a snowfall to start clearing the bus stops, as this gives time for the roads to get cleared first; this reduces the chance of plows burying the stops again.
- Contractors are responsible for keeping the stops salted/sanded during icy conditions.
