MASK MANDATE UPDATE (April 19, 2022):
Due to the court ruling by U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) January 29, 2021 Order requiring masks on public transportation conveyances and at public transportation hubs is no longer in effect. Effective immediately, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will not enforce the mask mandate on public transportation due to this court ruling.
In accordance with the court ruling and the TSA no longer enforcing the federal facemask mandate, facemasks will no longer be required for our customers and staff members on our public transit vehicles and facilities. However, anyone needing or choosing to wear a facemask is encouraged to do so.

The supervisor came out to talk to me and was very sweet. She took her time to explain everything and made sure all of the information was correct. She even made sure to inform the bus driver of my concerns who in turn calmed all my nerves. Overall a wonderful experience with a very careful supervisor.
