Community Transit Mask Mandate Non-Compliance

Lela.Perkins on Friday, February 19 - 5:39pm

After having several meetings with CT, they are convinced that passengers are complying with the mask mandate over 99% of the time. It is extremely important that every time a customer refuses to comply with CDC mandate, you call them in, hit the appropriate button on the APTS and write up and event report. We need the data to be able to push CT to enforce the mandate for your safety.
