DCTA Preventative Cleaning Measures During COVID-19
We are closely monitoring what is happening with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and are staying on top of alerts from local, state and national health organizations to closely monitor the situation. We are using a medical-grade disinfecting spray on all DCTA buses, trains and Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC).
In addition, on a daily basis, all buses and trains are sprayed with a broad-spectrum disinfectant that is effective against a range of microorganisms. Additional attention is being placed on high touch point areas such as door handles, counter tops and steering wheels; and we continue to evaluate our cleaning processes as needed.
Though we are taking extra cleaning precautions, we recommend our passengers stay vigilant when protecting themselves from germs. Help us prevent the spread of coronavirus and other flu-like illnesses on our buses and trains by following the recommended tips from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (if soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol) especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
- Avoid touching your nose, eyes and mouth
- Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze with a tissue and then throw the tissue in the trash
- If you are feeling ill, stay home and avoid close contact with others
- Wear a cloth mask when in close contact with others
We encourage passengers who must ride for essential trips to wear a cloth face covering and maintain the recommended six feet of social distance between all other passengers and DCTA bus and rail operators.
