Federal law requiring face masks on public transit buses extended to May 3, 2022
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's face mask requirement, which pertains to traveling on any public transit vehicles - including Iowa City Transit - to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, has been extended to May 3, 2022.
Face masks must be worn at transit stops, including the transit interchange, boarding the bus, riding, and while disembarking.
We want to thank Iowa City Transit passengers who have masked up to help keep themselves and the community safe during the pandemic. Masks must cover the nose and mouth. Passengers not properly wearing masks in compliance with Federal law may lose the privilege to ride Iowa City Transit.
