CDC Update to Mask Wearing Mandate: Effective Feb 2, 2021
The CDC has issued an order that now requires all of our riders and drivers to wear a mask to reduce the transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

- The order permits face masks only. We can no longer allow bandanas, scarves, plastic face-shields without a mask or a t-shirt pulled over the face.
- The mask must cover the nose and mouth.
