In alignment with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) decision to no longer enforce the Security Directives and Emergency Amendment requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs, DCTA will no longer require passengers or operators wear face coverings on vehicles or in facilities.
DCTA’s top priority is keeping passengers and employees healthy and ensuring a safe commute for our riders. Masks continue to be available for both riders and operators who choose to wear them. Enhanced cleaning measures remain in place.
“We appreciate the public’s patience over the past two years as we have navigated through the COVID-19 pandemic,” Paul Cristina, DCTA Interim CEO said. “DCTA is committed to the health and safety of our passengers and we look forward to continue serving you.”
Along with removing the mask requirement, DCTA is also reopening the Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC) to the public. The building will be open from 7 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday beginning April 25.
Although masks are no longer required, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to recommend that people wear masks in indoor public transportation settings.
