Covid Protocols

We offer free Masks, and Hand sanitizer.

When using any type of transportation, follow these general principles:

Wear Masks.

• Wear a mask covering your nose and mouth at all times in public settings and inside any public or private vehicle or mode of transport when around people who do not live in your household, especially when physical distancing is difficult. Masks are required on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations. This requirement includes taxis and rideshares as well.
  • The following categories of people are exempt from the requirement to wear a mask:
    • A child under the age of 2 years;
    • A person with a disability who cannot wear a mask, or cannot safely wear a mask, for reasons related to the disability;
    • A person for whom wearing a mask would create a risk to workplace health, safety, or job duty as determined by the relevant workplace safety guidelines or federal regulations.
• By a person for whom wearing a mask would create a risk to workplace health, safety, or job duty as determined by the relevant workplace safety guidelines or federal regulations. Your mask helps to protect those around you in case you are infected, even if you are not showing symptoms, while offering some protection for you too.

Practice physical distancing.

• During travel, avoid crowds and keep at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from people who are not in your household — for example, when you are waiting at a bus station or selecting seats on a train.

Practice hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette.

• Before you use any type of transportation, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Once you reach your destination, wash your hands again with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol as soon as possible upon arrival.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues in the trash and wash your hands immediately with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Stay home when possible.

• People who are sick, have tested positive for COVID-19, or who have recently had a close contact (closer than 6 feet for at least 15 minutes combined over a 24-hour period) to a person with COVID-19 should not use transportation options that may put them in close contact with others (for example, public transit, ride share, or taxis) and should stay home except to seek medical care. If they need to travel for medical care, they should travel by ambulance or private vehicle. If they use transportation services for medical needs, they should call ahead to notify the service of their illness so they can take precautions to protect the driver and other staff. No other passengers should share the vehicle.
• If you are sick and public transportation is your only option when seeking medical care, wear a mask over your nose and mouth, practice physical distancing (staying at least 6 feet away from other people as much as possible), and practice hand hygiene, including using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not readily available. For non-emergency medical care, make an appointment ahead of time and, if using public transportation, travel during non-peak hours, if possible.

Have adequate supplies

• Before traveling, pack sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol (in case you are unable to wash your hands at your destination).
• Bring your mask to wear at all times —especially while riding on a train or bus, waiting at a rest stop, or riding in a car with people outside your household.
• Bring extra masks in case your mask gets wet or dirty and a plastic bag that can be sealed to store wet or dirty masks.

Protect people at risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

• Everyone, especially those who have an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19, should avoid non-essential travel.
