The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority has released the following statement pertaining to Hurricane Irma:
The KnightLynx 212 Red/Downtown Orlando will not offer service Friday or Saturday. KnightLynx 210 Blue will operate as scheduled.
Lynx continues to monitor the impacts to the region from Hurricane Irma in coordination with our local, state and federal partners. All other Lynx fixed route, NeighborLink and LYMMO services will be provided as scheduled until further notice.
If sustained winds reach 35 mph from Hurricane Irma, the Lynx transit system will shut down temporarily for safety reasons. Lynx staff will monitor the effects of the storm and will keep the community up-to-date as the hurricane passes through the area.
Road Rangers will patrol I-4 until Central Florida reaches sustained winds of 35 mph, at which time they will be pulled off the street and return when it is deemed safe.
Policies for Access Lynx are slightly different. The period beginning 12 hours before sustained winds are expected to reach 35 mph, Access Lynx will only be providing life sustaining medical trips.
