Hi, not sure if this is still an active conversation, but I would like to participate. RTS provides free rides to youth (K-12) and with school up and running we are not able to social distance during the peak ride times for those students. RTS has implemented that everyone must wear a mask at al times, which we can provide if they do not have one. Our routes are not very long since we are a smaller community, so most people are not on the bus for long. RTS has also placed a barrier between the Operator and the passengers with very little contact with passengers. As it may not seem ideal to not require social distancing, it is what we can do to provide our youth with free transportation during these difficult times.
