Public Transportation Mask Mandate Remains in Effect Until January 18, 2022

Santa Cruz METRO's mask mandate remains in effect until January 18, 2022 per the Federal TSA Security Directive.

METRO would like to advise our riders that public transportation continues to follow mask mandates from the Federal TSA Security Directive 1582/84-21-01B “Security Measures – Face Mask Requirements” that was first instated January 31, 2021 and has been extended to January 18, 2022. This directive requires that all members of the public wear a face mask while using public transportation and while inside a Transit Center. As this is a Federal TSA mandate, METRO and all public transportation will need to continue to enforce the mask mandate until January 18, 2022 or until the order is rescinded.

METRO continues to provide complimentary masks onboard our buses.

We appreciate all of our riders continued support in following this mask mandate to ensure the safety of our employees and fellow riders.

Thank you for wearing your mask when using METRO services and while on METRO property.
