The Connect Transit Board of Trustees voted to extend the suspension of fare collection on all transportation services until November 9th, 2020. This includes Connect Transit fixed-route bus service and Connect Mobility paratransit service.

Connect Transit will continue to operate at a reduced service schedule to ensure proper cleaning of buses and facilities. Buses are cleaned and sanitized during the day and every night to ensure passenger safety while riding. Operating a reduced service schedule enables Connect Transit to continue reliable transit service safely for employees and customers.

Connect Transit has joined the American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) “Health and Safety Commitments Program,” the public transportation industry’s overarching pledge to passengers that public transit systems are taking all the necessary measures to operate safely as the nation recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The health and safety of passengers and operators is the most important priority for Connect Transit. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Connect Transit has worked tirelessly to keep riders safe from infection from the coronavirus. By signing on to the APTA Health and Safety Commitments Program with more than 100 public transit systems, Connect Transit and the public transit industry are actively working to instill confidence in riders that it’s committed to protecting their health and safety.
