The Worcester Regional Transit Authority will suspend service at 1:00 p.m. on Friday due to the massive winter storm that is just hours away from dumping more than two feet of snow on the region.

Service for Saturday, February 9, has also been cancelled.

In addition, the City of Worcester has issued a declared winter parking ban, in effect as of 9:00 a.m. Friday. There is no parking on either side of main streets, bus routes and downtown streets. Parking is allowed only on the odd numbered side of all other streets unless otherwise posted. Illegally parked vehicles are the biggest obstacle to effective snow removal efforts. Vehicles that violate the winter parking ban or otherwise hinder snow removal will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.
