2022.04.03 POGOH small (61 of 111)

Aviso estándar de clima invernal

Winter weather conditions may affect the functionality of the POGOH system. While we can anticipate and respond to winter weather as conditions arise, we want our riders to be safe and prepared for all of the different winter weather scenarios. Here are our recommendations for different winter weather conditions:

Temperaturas constantes por debajo de los 30 grados:

When temperatures are consistently hovering below 30 degrees, POGOH encounters challenges with battery life on bicycles. Freezing temperatures have an adverse effect on battery life.

Planificación del clima de invierno

<1” de nieve:

Ride with caution. Consider alternate transportation if you’re not confident riding in snow or potentially icy conditions.

1”-4” de nieve:

We suggest using alternative transportation until the roads have been cleared, that our team has been able to clear stations of snow, and that the roads are ready for riding.

5” de nieve:

During these storms we strongly suggest using an alternative form of transportation. In the event of a snowstorm that Pittsburgh anticipates receiving over 5” of snow, the POGOH team will require ample time to clear stations of snow and ensure bicycles are available for rent. While our team will diligently clear snow from stations, this process may take several days. In addition, this gives the City of Pittsburgh time to clear safe bicycle routes. Extreme winter storms may require a complete shutdown of the POGOH system.

Remember, you can report unsafe routes to Pittsburgh’s 311 Response Center. For more information, click here.

Advertencia de clima invernal extremo

La seguridad es una prioridad principal para POGOH. Si las condiciones climáticas amenazan la seguridad de nuestros pasajeros, suspenderemos temporalmente el servicio para todos los clientes. Las bicicletas que ya estaban en uso en el momento del cierre se pueden devolver en cualquier estación POGOH.

 

In the event that Pittsburgh receives a storm of any kind that may interfere with the safety of our riders and will result in a full system closure, we will notify all of our registered users via our newsletter, Twitter, Facebook, and to the homepage of our website.
