PART Express Inclement Weather Service

Many people rely on PART to get where they need to go, regardless of the weather, which is why we do everything possible to provide safe and reliable transit service during inclement weather. In an effort to be ready for adverse weather conditions, PART has created a three-tiered Inclement Weather Plan. 

• Tier 1: Route will begin late or be cancelled.
• Tier 2: Route will be limited during the day, starting late, and ending early. Some routes cancelled. 
• Tier 3: Route will end early. 
• In extreme cases, we may need to cancel an individual route or all PART Express service. 

Please find links below for inclement weather plans for each route. Inclement weather tiers are based on the weather conditions and may be modified based on the severity of the situation.
