SEPTA crews will work through the night and early morning hours, SEPTA officials said, to monitor conditions and perform tasks necessary to operate as much service as possible on Friday morning, a SEPTA spokesperson said.
This will include running pilot vehicles on rail and trolley lines overnight in an effort to keep them clear of ice and ready for the resumption of service on Friday morning. In addition, transportation managers dispatched throughout the transit system will assess the conditions of roads and infrastructure to determine which bus routes will be able to resume operations, according to SEPTA officials.
Details about Friday morning’s service on bus routes, Regional Rail lines and other SEPTA modes of travel will be available by approximately 5 a.m. Friday. Updates will be posted online at www.septa.org and sent out via Twitter and to local news media outlets.
