The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced yesterday (April 18) the withdrawal of SD 1582/84-21-01E, requiring masks on public transportation and at public transportation facilities. The TSA will no longer enforce their mask-related security directives.
As such, effective immediately, HART will no longer require masks on board our buses, vans, and streetcars and at our facilities including work offices. HART operators will no longer be required to enforce the mask requirement on our vehicles.
However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to recommend that people wear masks in indoor public transportation environments.
Customers and employees are still welcome to wear a mask in all settings.
