Winter Weather Policy

With winter just around the corner it's time to review what to do in case the buses can't run. OATS' first concern is for the safety of its riders and employees.  While every effort is made to operate according to published schedules, weather conditions may cause traveling to be hazardous.

As a general guide, the OATS service will be canceled in a county when school bus service is canceled in that county due to inclement weather. In the event localized weather exists during which school bus operations continue, the OATS driver may still recommend to the Regional  Director that service be canceled. Any service cancellations will be closely coordinated with the local contacts to assure all who were scheduled to go that day are notified of the cancellation.
