1. School Closures
When local public schools are closed due to weather:
- The Senior Center building is closed to the public for programs and services.
- Transportation services remain available, unless otherwise noted below.
When schools open late or close early:
- The Senior Center and Community Connector programs may open late or close early.
- Transportation services remain available, unless otherwise noted below.
2. Town Hall Closures
- If Town Hall is closed due to weather, the Senior Center will also be closed.
- If Town Hall has a delayed opening or early closure, the Senior Center may adjust hours accordingly.
3. Transportation & Community Connector Services

- Other Community Connector rides may continue as scheduled, depending on conditions.
- If a State of Emergency is declared, all Community Connector transportation services are canceled.
- Inclement weather may cause delays, route changes, or service disruptions during major storms.
4. Service Decisions & Communication
- Final decisions regarding closures, delays, or transportation changes are made by the Senior Center Director, based on weather conditions, public safety guidance, and transit availability.
- Decisions prioritize rider safety while making every effort to maintain essential transportation services when possible.
- Riders are encouraged to check the Town website, official social media pages, or posted notices for the most up-to-date service information before traveling during inclement weather.
- Riders should allow extra travel time during inclement weather and be prepared for possible delays.
- In rare or severe weather situations, services may be suspended regardless of school or municipal closures to protect public safety.
