Heavy snow and extreme cold will delay the
start of public transportation services operated by Danville Mass Transit
Monday morning. Canceled services include fixed route buses, paratransit
service operated by CRIS, and the shuttle between Danville and
Champaign-Urbana. These services are planned to begin at 10:15AM, however,
additional delays and cancelations are possible.
Riders should keep in mind that the expected temperatures and
wind chills will cause frostbite and hypothermia very quickly. Only essential travel
is recommended. For your safety, riders should dress appropriately for extreme
temperatures, and expect that buses will be running behind schedule due to road
conditions. Expect also that the condition of sidewalks and bus stops will be
very poor due to heavy snow and ice. Further, extreme cold temperatures may
cause mechanical failures resulting in other problems with bus service.
Check the DMT website at www.ridedmt.org or the
City of Danville web site at www.cityofdanville.org for
updates. Information will also be posted to DMT’s Facebook Page (to follow, like
“Danville Mass Transit”) and Twitter (@ridedmt). The office will be
staffed Monday morning to assist riders by phone. For questions call (217) 431-0653
after 5:00AM Monday.
