UCHRA No Longer Requiring Masks On Public Transportation

Changes to UCHRA public transportation’s COVID precautions were made Tuesday.

“In accordance to the court ruling and the TSA no longer enforcing the federal mask mandate, face masks will no longer be required for our customers and staff members on our public transportation vehicles and facilities,” Transportation Director Holly Montooth said.

Montooth said the decision was made after the Transportation Security Administration no longer enforced the mandate. The administration’s decision came after Florida U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle ruled Monday that the CDC mask mandate outreached its authority.

Montooth said the agency still encourages face masks
