METRO is urging everyone to stay safe as we work together to fight the spread of COVID-19. Signs are posted across the transit system, encouraging riders to wear face coverings as recommended by public health officials, and in line with Harris County's mandatory face covering order for everyone over the age of 10 for the next 30 days beginning Monday, April 27.
