(UPDATE 03-11-22) Transit Systems Across the Region Comply with FTA Mask Requirement. FTA Mask Requirement Extended through April 18, 2022
Public transportation agencies across the North Central region announced today that they will comply with mask requirements for riders until April 18, 2022, per the mandate from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). ATA receives Federal Transit Administration funding and is obligated to comply with the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) mask mandate now extended until April 18, 2022.
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has lifted the masking order for those who are fully vaccinated, it still requires those traveling on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation or at indoor transportation hubs to wear a mask.
FTA amended its Master Agreement with local transit authorities to incorporate the requirements of the CDC mask order. FTA’s Master Agreement contains the standard terms and conditions that apply to every grantee. The amendment includes enforcement actions FTA may take for non-compliance. We will follow this mandate, as this is a direct requirement of funding for local public transportation. Without the FTA’s support, local service across countless communities wouldn’t exist.
The regional transit agencies are asking riders to respect the mandate in order to minimize transit delays that stem from mask conversations. The transit authorities have equipped drivers with extra masks that are available to the public for free. “While we are all working towards a return to normal, we ask our customers to continue to mask-up prior to boarding. Wearing a mask will help the transit providers remain compliant with Federal requirements and avoid unnecessary travel delays,” says Michael Imbrogno, CEO of ATA.
