Metrobus Snow Service
Snowy and icy roads can force Metrobus to reduce or suspend service. This page describes service adjustments you can expect during moderate and severe winter storms.
Moderate Snowfall
When snow accumulation is moderate (typically 2-6 inches) or light ice forms, Metrobus typically suspends service only on steep and narrow streets prone to hazardous winter road conditions. As snow continues or roads become increasingly icy, Metrobus suspends service further as safety requires. See links below for route descriptions and maps of service during moderate winter storms.
Heavy Snowfall
During severe icing or a major snowfall of eight or more inches, Metrobus typically runs only on the busiest routes in the District, Maryland and Virginia. And, if road and weather conditions worsen, Metrobus may halt all service until driving conditions become safe again. See links below for route descriptions and maps of service during severe winter storms.
