PSTA announces participation in national health and safety program
September 18, 2020 -
The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority has joined the American Public Transportation Association’s “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 pandemic. The program was developed after asking transit users from across the country what would make them feel more confident riding public transportation amid concerns about Covid-19. Their answers included following public health guidelines, enhanced cleaning measures, increased communication and prohibiting people exposed to the virus or feeling sick from using public transportation, all of which PSTA has implemented during the pandemic.
