Mask Signage Available for Transit Stakeholders to Amplify Federal Mask Requirement for Public Transportation

The Federal Transit Administration sent this bulletin at 02/02/2021 05:51 PM EST

Thank you to those who attended today’s FTA stakeholder call on the recently announced federal mask requirements for transit systems to mitigate the risk of COVID-19. During the call, FTA heard from our stakeholders about the need for signage to inform about the requirement for mask use on transit vehicles and in transit facilities. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has posted a sample sign for transit agencies to download to educate, inform and encourage passengers and employees about the new federal mask requirement. 

FTA will continue to post updated information and materials online, including a recording of today’s call. If you have questions or comments, please send them to FTA via TransitMaskUp@dot.gov.
