There is still a driving ban in effect for the City of Buffalo. Please stay off the roads to allow emergency vehicles the access they need.
As we start another day of storm response, please consider checking on your neighbors if it is safe to do so. A phone call, an offer to clear a path to a door, or even just a few kind words can mean all the difference to a neighbor in need.
Our 858-SNOW line is open for non-emergency calls - which would include requests for transport to dialysis - and requests for information.
Please do not call this number with requests for snowplows or updates on power outages. DPW crews are working 24/7 on snow clearance; utility companies are doing the same for power.
This is the most up to date map of the current driving ban and driving advisory locations in Erie County. Please remember, these maps may need to be changed or updated as situations evolve.
A map was posted that erroneously showed the Driving ban as being lifted for West Seneca. The ban is still in effect for West Seneca. The map is being fixed.
