Walking is always an option, regardless of the time of year— it just involves a little extra planning during snowy months. The people or departments responsible for snow removal prioritize walking school bus routes. SRTS outreach coordinators can help with maps. With a good plan and some community support, walking can take place year-round. After all, we’re hearty New Englanders, an occasional Nor’easter won’t deter us!
