Snow Plan

When the Snow Reroute Plan is in effect, several routes are rerouted to avoid problem spots on the roads. To find out if the Snow Reroute Plan is in effect, consult the website, listen to a participating Metro Snow Station or TV weather forecasts, or call the Regional Call Center at (816) 221-0660. Occasionally, additional reroutes may be necessary. Also, all routes could experience schedule delays because of icy streets and slow traffic.

If you are a park-and-ride customer, please be aware that Metro crews clear some of the park-and-rides while other park-and-rides are cleared by the owners of the property. View all Park-and-Ride locations. Share-A-Fare service may also be affected by winter weather.
