Johnson County SEATS contracts with Iowa City & Coralville so in the event of a snowstorm or other event affecting the operation of Iowa City Transit & Coralville Transit, SEATS will be in service the same as they are. If Iowa City Transit and/or Coralville delay then we will be delayed the same times they are (If Coralville is delayed and Iowa City is not then the Coralville rides will be delayed and Iowa City’s will not).

The decision will be made by our contractors and broadcast on the following:

Television

KCRG (Channel 9)

Social Media

Follow Johnson County, Iowa on social media for service related announcements

The general policy is that if the city's fixed route system stops running, then Paratransit will also stop operating those same hours as soon as we know no one is left stranded.

If the Iowa City Schools or any other school in Johnson County are delayed or closed for the day, SEATS will not run in the rural service area.

Also affecting SEATS service: if the access to the residence or facility (driveway, sidewalk and/or walkway) is ice covered or snow covered and unsafe to drive or walk on, SEATS service will not be able do the service due to safety concerns. This must be approved by the office.

If in ANY DOUBT call the SEATS office at 339-6128.
