I guess one option would be to have police, firefighters and police on foot. Then, rather than the "plow the roads for emergency vehicles, and then you might as well keep going because the road plow is warmed up," the sidewalks would get cleared first.
Or maybe, provide a shovel at each stop and while waiting for the bus, someone can shovel. Why let car owners (or homeowners with sidewalks) have all the fun of shoveling? Maybe take it a step further and have an "Adopt-a-bus-stop" model tied to a stricter snow clearing times. If a citizen gets to the stop after the tight clearing window but before the contracted plow operator does, the plow operator pays a penalty and the lucky citizen could get a credit on their bus pass.
The service could be called "Plowed Sourcing".
