Transit Center Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

Transit centers move thousands of riders who depend on safe footing between buses, shelters, and connecting sidewalks. We clear bus bays, boarding islands, and platform edges first, then de-ice the passenger walkways and shelter approaches where commuters wait in the cold. Because Puget Sound snow often turns to a slick glaze by the morning rush, we pre-treat and stage crews for pre-dawn readiness. Coordination with your service schedule keeps clearing out of the way of active bus movements.
