摘要：	Transit agencies of every size and geographic region across the country are managing extreme weather events at their bus stops. This includes managing snow, ice, heat, wind, rain, and mudslides while keeping transit stops and their associated infrastructure functional. Although extreme weather is by no means a new problem, agencies are witnessing an increase in snow events and in extreme heat (daytime temperatures of over 90°F). The extreme weather creates not only a major inconvenience for riders, but also safety hazards and accessibility barriers. It is important to remember that bus stop customers are pedestrians first. This synthesis provides a state-of-the-practice report on the extreme weather transit systems are managing; how they plan for it; who is responsible; what they do and where they do it; the standards and specifications they follow; associated legal claims; and how they communicate information to customers.
