Covid-19 Essential Transportation Services

As a valued customer, we want to keep you informed as to the proactive steps we are taking in relation to the Coronavirus, which has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”) for the most up-to-date information on local schedule changes.

We are a leader in transportation safety, and therefore, it is important that we keep our employees and passengers informed and assure you of your safety during travel on any of our services. We have been monitoring reports provided by federal, state, and local government sites and keeping communications open with various organizations and affiliations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”). Based on what has been communicated, we have implemented the following preventative measures:

• We have been and will continue to wash and wipe down all of our buses on a daily basis.
• We are providing individual hand sanitizers to all of our employees.
• Disinfectant wipes will be placed on all buses so that high-traffic areas, handrails, and hard surfaces can be wiped down regularly.
• Disinfectant wipes will be made available in common work areas in every depot and office so that all door knobs and hard surfaces can be wiped down regularly.
• While en route with passengers, all efforts will be made to allow as much fresh air as possible into the bus.

We also encourage you to visit the CDC, which provides the most up-to-date information on COVID-19.

It also details what each individual can do to prevent his or her own exposure to COVID-19, which we include below for immediate reference:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Follow the CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
• CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
• Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

We will continue to be vigilant in our actions to ensure the safe travel of our employees and passengers and will post any updates as required.
