PLEASE READ: IMPORTANT COVID-19 NOTICE
The health and safety of the community, our passengers and Topeka Metro employees are our top priority. Topeka Metro has fully complied with all mask requirements during the pandemic and we are currently enforcing the TSA Directive requiring proper wearing of face masks per federal law. Face masks are to be worn while on the bus and in Quincy Street station through MARCH 18, 2022. Failure to comply will result in denial of boarding or removal, and may result in penalties.
EFFECTIVE 9/7/21, Topeka Metro will no longer be supplying masks to passengers, so all passengers must supply their own masks or they will not be allowed to ride.
Topeka Metro will continue to monitor and implement safety protocols and recommendations as directed by the Governor, public health and transportation authorities, and local leaders to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, our customers, and our community.
It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could result in multiple Topeka Metro bus operators being unable to work at any given time. In the event that Topeka Metro were to experience a critical bus operator shortage, service reductions may become necessary.
La salud y la seguridad de la comunidad, nuestros pasajeros y los empleados de Topeka Metro son nuestra prioridad más importante. Topeka Metro ha cumplido en su totalidad con los requerimientos del uso de tapabocas durante la pandemia y en la actualidad estamos reforzando el requerimiento por ley federal de la Directiva de la Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte (TSA por sus siglas en inglés) del uso apropiado de coberturas faciales. Las coberturas faciales deben ser utilizadas mientras utilice el autobús y en la estación de la “Quincy Street” hasta el 18 de marzo del 2022. El incumplimiento resultará en la denegación de abordaje o remoción del autobús y puede resultar en una multa.
VIGENTE A PARTIR DE 7/SEPT/21 Topeka Metro ya no estará proporcionando tapabocas a los pasajeros, así que todos los pasajeros deben contar con sus propios tapabocas o no se les permitirá viajar en el autobús.
Topeka Metro continuará monitoreando e implementando protocolos de seguridad y las recomendaciones de la Gobernadora, las autoridades de salud pública y de transporte y los líderes locales para asegurar la seguridad y bienestar de nuestros empleados, nuestros clientes y nuestra comunidad.
Es posible que la pandemia de COVID-19 ocasione que múltiples operadores de los autobuses no puedan trabajar en algún momento dado. En el evento de que Topeka Metro experimente una escasez crítica de operadores de autobús, será necesario reducir los servicios.
