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. Masks are required for all persons when boarding, disembarking and for the duration of the trip. This order also applies to people at the bus stops and Runabout passengers.
- 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.
- Masks with one-way valves do not comply with the order.
For more information on the new Order, visit our COVID 19 information page here.
