It is that time of year again when inclement weather can cause difficult driving conditions for all drivers. It is important to always limit your distractions when driving but especially during adverse weather.
TMA Bucks encourages everyone to sign up for the Bucks County Community Alert System “ReadyNotify” that delivers important emergency alerts, notifications and updates to you on all your devices. Sign up and customize for your needs here:

PennDOT has a “Winter Driving” webpage that highlights preparation as the main key to successfully navigating winter roads. Winter weather can bring unexpected conditions, so make sure that both you and your vehicle are ready for ice and snow. For more PennDOT “Winter Driving” information go here:

Please remember that Bucks County has many rural, two-lane highways so have patience and allow PennDOT time to reach these roads. Also not all highways are state highways; some are municipally-owned and are plowed by the borough/township. If you’re concerned about a road, contact your township/borough first.
Several Bucks County municipalities have snow emergency policies. Be aware of your township/borough’s policy and comply. Find the website to your municipality here:
