Federal Mask Requirement Extended for Public Transportation<\/h2>\n

Published on: <\/strong>December 6, 2021<\/em><\/p>\n

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has extended<\/a> the face mask requirement for all transportation networks, including public transportation, through March 18, 2022<\/strong>. TSA\u2019s initial face mask requirement<\/a> went into effect on February 1, 2021, with an initial expiration date of May 11, 2021. It was first extended through September 13, 2021, and then to January 18, 2022.<\/p>\n

While this announcement extends the date of enforcement, all other aspects of the requirement<\/a> remain unchanged, including exemptions and civil penalties.<\/p>\n

TSA also issued a statement<\/a> on the face mask extension. Learn more about FTA\u2019s guidance to the transit industry on the Federal mask requirement for public transit at the FTA Transit Mask Up webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
