As of February 2022, these are our COVID-19 safety protocols and guidelines:
Masks are required: The Federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that transit riders wear masks on board vehicles and at stops and stations, and we that we clearly communicate this requirement on our website, in ad campaigns, on signs and on buses and trains. Failure to wear a mask may result in denial of boarding, removal or penalties under federal law.
Lots of fresh air: Buses and trains have good ventilation, and we’re maximizing airflow on board. Learn more about airflow on buses and trains
Regular cleaning: Trains and buses are disinfected daily.
Free masks and sanitizer: Free masks are available on all our buses and trains. Hand sanitizer is available on all our buses, WES trains and LIFT Paratransit vehicles.
Protecting employees: We’ve installed operator safety panels on all buses and added a second “yellow line” six feet from the operator to help maintain distancing. We’ve hosted vaccine clinics for our employees. We rigorously clean employee work areas, and we provide PPE for employees to ensure safe conditions.
