Snow & Winter Operations

Keep Streets Clear of Parked Vehicles

When there is a chance of snow, please use driveways or garages to park your vehicles. With fewer vehicles parked on Town streets, our public works crew is able to clear them of ice and snow more effectively. For safety reasons, please limit activity in the streets when public works crews are plowing.

Clear Sidewalks

Residents are requested to keep their sidewalks and front walks free of snow and ice. Please clear sidewalks within 24 hours after a snowfall.

Town Shuttle Bus Winter Conditions Policy

Town Shuttle Bus operations to and from Metro during winter weather conditions will seek to parallel the operating status of federal government offices in the area. Please follow news media reports regarding the operating status of federal government offices within the Washington Beltway as the best indicator of whether the Town Shuttle Bus is operating.

Bus status recording will be updated as needed due to changing conditions:

  • If federal government offices are closed due to winter conditions, the Town Shuttle Bus will not operate.
  • If federal government offices are open, even if on delayed arrival, the Town Shuttle Bus will operate on its established route and schedule so long as the conditions are deemed safe by the Town.
  • If federal government offices are open and announce early dismissal, the Town Shuttle Bus will operate on its established route and schedule so long as the conditions are deemed safe by the Town.

In inclement weather, call the Town Bus status line at 240-297-8287 to learn if the bus is operating.
