The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division is providing transportation for essential workers who are trapped by unsafe driving conditions caused by freezing weather blanketing the northern part of the state.
Agents began transporting essential workers to and from work this morning, Jan. 15.
LDWF agents are currently transporting essential workers to and from the Northwest Louisiana Veterans Home in Bossier Parish. LDWF expects additional Veteran homes and local hospitals to need this service as more areas face deteriorating weather.
“We are more than happy to provide this service for our essential workers and will continue until it is no longer needed,” said Col. Rachel Zechenelly, head of the LDWF Enforcement Division. “We have the equipment and experience for these bad driving conditions.”
