Officials say the use of cloth face coverings is strongly encouraged aboard all buses, trains, and MetroAccess vehicles, as well as in rail stations, bus terminals and other transit facilities.
Riders will not be denied transportation if they refuse to wear a face covering, Metro says. The same guidance applies to Metro employees, who are encouraged to wear face coverings, but are not required to do so.
