BusTracker Real-Tine Estimated Arrival Information
- Riders are reminded that during inclement weather, route-by-route estimated arrival information in BusTracker may not be accurate.
- If your route is on detour, the information presented in BusTracker will not reflect real-time estimated arrival information but rather the schedule information.
- While on detour, a bus will not show up in the BusTracker location map view.
Allow Extra Time and Stay Safe While Traveling During Winter Weather
Fairfax Connector passengers are reminded to plan ahead and take steps to stay safe while traveling.
- Plan ahead and decide on a route that keeps you waiting outside for the shortest time possible. It is important to arrive at your bus stop five minutes before the listed arrival time of your bus.
- Watch your footing and take your time when walking in icy conditions.
- Take small steps when you walk and slide your feet across the pavement rather than using your typical stride. If you have to walk up or down an incline, turn sideways and slide your feet apart and together in a sliding side-step motion.
- Bend your knees slightly and ensure your feet are slightly apart for better balance.
- Look at the ground while you are walking so you can see icy patches.
- Dress appropriately for the cold weather meaning you are not exposing any skin to the cold, so you are wearing a hat, mittens or gloves, a scarf, socks, warm boots or shoes, and a warm jacket. Thick, loose clothing and lots of layers are ideal.
Help VDOT Get Roads Plowed
In case of significant snow accumulation, it is critical that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews are able to effectively clear the streets and public safety can respond to emergencies. To help the process, please avoid walking in the streets, you are putting your life in danger.
Take a look a VDOT's interactive snowplowing map.
