Help for you and your employees to get to work during winter weather.

It’s official. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), the Pacific Northwest is likely to be colder and wetter than average this winter. Metro is prepared for snow and has the following tools to help you get information out to your employees about commuting during snow and ice.

Use our graphics, sample text, resources and web links to keep your employees in the know during snow.  There are winter weather checklists, Metro's Snow and Ice Guide and the Metro Alerts system to help everyone be more informed during challenging weather conditions.
