Reminder: TARC Winter Weather Service

As TARC approaches the winter weather season, as a reminder, during inclement weather, TARC works to keep as much service on the road as possible while also ensuring the safety of our passengers and employees on the roads. We implement winter weather detours and service changes when snow and ice can cause travel hazards. The decision to activate a winter weather detour or reduce service could be made at any time, and that decision would be made in conjunction with Louisville Metro Emergency Services.

TARC will always communicate this decision to riders immediately through all available methods. Riders on fixed route buses can receive up-to-date information by calling our customer service line at (502) 585-1234, or following TARC on Facebook or Twitter.

Please note that TARC customer service is only open Monday through Friday (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). Should winter weather impact TARC service on a Saturday or Sunday the automated phone system will play updates regarding winter weather service.

Update for 2026: Beginning with the New TARC Network (launched August 2, 2026) there is only one predetermined route (Route 81) that may go on snow detour due to the nature of the streets the route serves.
