Public Transportation Responds: Safeguarding Riders and Employees
The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) is proud to partner with WSP USA, Inc. and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in creating “The COVID-19 Pandemic: Public Transportation Responds: Safeguarding Riders and Employees.”
As the only non-profit association in North America that represents all modes of public transit, our more than 1,500 member organizations are involved in every element of our industry. We are leading public transportation in the midst of seminal change and helping to create a new landscape of innovative, integrated mobility services and solutions. The unprecedented challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic are now bringing about more change, today and perhaps for years to come. APTA’s responsibility is to help public transit agencies and business members recover, reinvent, and re-boot for a future that is safer and more resilient.
Toward that goal, this guide is more than a resource tool of best practices and policies; it represents who we are as public transportation leaders, not just what we do. Keeping our riders and employees safe has always been a core value for every APTA member. By providing vital answers to some of the most vexing questions regarding COVID-19, this guide will help transit agencies to continue delivering essential services safely and to emerge from the pandemic stronger.
We remain resolute and optimistic, as an industry and an association, about public transportation’s indispensable role in a new, more mobile and safer future.
