                SUMMARY: During the COVID-19 public health emergency, transit agencies
                across the country are continuing to provide millions of trips a day to
                lifeline services and to carry healthcare and other essential workers
                to critical jobs. FTA has published Safety Advisory 20-1 recommending
                that transit agencies develop and implement procedures and practices
                consistent with all applicable guidance and information provided by the
                Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational
                Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure the continued safety
                of transit passengers and employees. A copy of Safety Advisory 20-1 can
                be found on the FTA website at https://www.transit.dot.gov/coronavirus.
