Emergency Procedures
SCT will not operate its vehicles during severe weather or when roads are icy or unsafe. Should SCT limit services due to inclement weather, updates will be provided here on our website www.southcentraltransit.org and on our Facebook page. Updates may also be broadcasted on local radio stations. If you have any questions regarding your service please contact the scheduling office at 800-660-7433.
SCT drivers are thoroughly trained in emergency evacuation procedures in the event of an accident. Basic procedures include: following driver’s instructions, remaining calm, implementing an orderly evacuation of the vehicle if warranted, staying off the roadway in a safe location until further notification, not smoking near the vehicle and calling for emergency response if required.
Passengers are responsible for notifying the driver if they or another passenger are ill, injured, or in distress while on the vehicle.
Patrons are invited to join our email alert system and be notified of changes to their usual service.
When Winter Weather Strikes, Remember These Tips:
- Dress warmly!
- Let the bus come to a complete stop before moving forward to board.
Exercise additional caution when boarding and deboarding the bus, as stairs and aisles may be slippery from the snow. - Please remember that drivers will be using caution when operating buses and could be running slowly, additional wait times may be required
