Raburn argued that mask mandates are not supported by current guidance from health authorities. Allen questioned the wisdom and effectiveness of having BART police enforce a mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hearing public comment, the board agreed to reinstate the mask requirement through Oct. 1 by a vote of 7-2. The board will consider extending the mandate further at its Sept. 22 meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AC Transit is the only other major Bay Area transit agency currently requiring riders to wear masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SFBART/status/1552835835069755393\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Masks on transit: How we got here\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Federal agencies imposed a mask mandate for passengers on most modes of transportation at the outset of the pandemic. And following guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) extended nationwide mask requirements on planes, buses, trains and ferries through May 3, 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on April 18, a federal judge in Florida \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11911526/tsa-will-no-longer-enforce-travel-mask-mandate-after-federal-judge-strikes-it-down\">struck down the CDC mask mandate\u003c/a>. A few hours later, the TSA announced it would no longer enforce mask rules inside airports and airplanes and on public transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This ruling meant private and public transportation agencies could drop their own mask mandates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most major airlines, along with the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose international airports, now have made masks optional. Rideshare giants \u003ca href=\"https://www.uber.com/us/en/safety/\">Uber\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.lyft.com/blog/posts/update-to-lyfts-health-safety-guidelines\">Lyft\u003c/a> also have dropped their masking requirements for passengers and drivers. And private bus companies, like \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FlixBus_USA/status/1516446461671714820\">FlixBus\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/megabus/status/1516415898168532992\">Megabus\u003c/a>, have followed suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>BART and AC Transit are the only Bay Area public transit agencies that currently require face masks\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Several Bay Area transit agencies — including Caltrain and Muni — initially retained their mask rules after the TSA announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on April 20, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced that \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx\">the state’s mask requirements for public transit — and transportation hubs, like stations — also \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx\">were \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx\"> terminated\u003c/a> “effective immediately.” The statement nonetheless still “strongly” recommended that California residents keep wearing their masks in these settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"#maskmandate\">Every Bay Area public transit agency subsequently dropped their mask requirements\u003c/a> for riders following the state’s announcement. However, AC Transit, which operates in both Alameda and Contra Costa counties, announced June 2 that its passengers would once again be required to wear face masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Could we see more agencies or regions reintroducing their own mask rules for public transit — regardless of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/04/20/1093927926/mask-mandate-appeal-doj\">the Justice Department’s own appeal against the original decision by the Florida judge\u003c/a>? Right now, it’s unclear. CDC officials declined to comment on the status of that appeal, and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/covid-science-travel-health-business-3b819aa097b4e642a97d39f606924203\">The Associated Press reports that DOJ officials did not immediately respond\u003c/a> to a request for information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 22, \u003ca href=\"https://abc7.com/los-angeles-county-masks-mandate-bring-back-face-public-transit/11779646/\">Los Angeles County independently introduced a new health order that once again requires masks\u003c/a> on all public transit within the county. LA County Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer cited the CDC’s continued guidance that masking on public transit remains a key way of preventing the spread of COVID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, remember: Regardless of whether a transit agency has dropped its mask requirement, you can always choose to keep wearing your mask in whichever setting you please.

A few hours later, the TSA announced it would no longer enforce mask rules inside airports and airplanes and on public transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This ruling meant private and public transportation agencies could drop their own mask mandates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most major airlines, along with the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose international airports, now have made masks optional.

Ridership on all Bay Area public transit systems plummeted as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agencies have struggled to maintain basic service, keep riders and workers safe and avoid mass layoffs. An infusion of emergency aid from the federal government allowed transit systems to survive, but getting back to “normal” is still far in the future. “We are now facing the complete economic devastation that is the aftermath of this pandemic,” San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Director of Transportation Jeffrey Tumlin said on Tuesday’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101877803/how-covid-19-is-changing-public-transit\">KQED Forum\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What About Safety?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Transit operators have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue since shelter-at-home orders were imposed in March. One of the major challenges they face now is convincing patrons that it’s safe to ride again, even with the coronavirus pandemic still simmering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s some evidence that transit isn’t to blame for as much transmission of the coronavirus as authorities and the riding public might believe. Studies of outbreaks in various cities around the world have not detected infection clusters linked to public transportation. And a new article from \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/fear-transit-bad-cities/612979/\">The Atlantic\u003c/a> notes that the incidence of COVID-19 has been low in one of the world’s most crowded, transit-reliant cities:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If transit itself were a global super-spreader, then a large outbreak would have been expected in Hong Kong, a city of 7.5 million people dependent on a public transportation system that, before the pandemic, was carrying \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/factsheets/docs/transport.pdf\">12.9 million people a day\u003c/a>.

Tumlin says the current all-bus system is safer because vehicles can operate with windows open, which circulates fresh air and reduces the chance of virus transmission on vehicles.

Drivers have protective barriers, wear masks and keep the windows down to increase air circulation. Most buses have rear boarding to facilitate passengers spreading out. The buses are cleaned and sterilized at the end of every shift, about three times a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And as far as we know, there are no cases of passengers having contracted COVID-19 on Muni,” Tumlin said. He added that there have been just 14 COVID-19 cases among the agency’s 6,000 employees, and all have recovered. None of those are believed to have contracted the virus in the workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='coronavirus']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic has also revealed interesting equity patterns in ridership.

However, the agency has closed streets like the Great Highway, Page, Shotwell and Sanchez to traffic — part of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/projects/slow-streets-program\">Slow Streets program\u003c/a> — in order to make more safe spaces for residents to get outside and move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our next step is to try and knit those pilot projects together, filling in critical gaps, to allow most San Franciscans on their own steam, to get to work, to get groceries, etc,” Tumlin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Jeffrey Tumlin, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency\"]'Our next step is to try and knit those pilot projects together, filling in critical gaps, to allow most San Franciscans on their own steam, to get to work, to get groceries, etc,.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA is considering a massive network of protected bike lanes that could help make many more San Franciscans feel safer getting around by bike, scooter or on foot.

Tumlin acknowledges this is a delicate matter. Right now, most agencies do not want their frontline workers confronting passengers in order to make them wear masks. Tumlin says Muni drivers have even been assaulted when they tried to shame passengers into wearing masks. And the conversation about mask enforcement comes in the middle of a national reckoning with policing, making the matter even more complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"bart\">\u003c/a>BART\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11806560\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11806560 size-full\" style=\"font-weight: bold; background-color: transparent; color: #767676;\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A mostly empty BART train travels from Oakland to San Francisco on Tuesday, Mar. 10, 2020.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mostly empty BART train travels from Oakland to San Francisco on March 10, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>BART ridership, which averaged over 400,000 people per weekday in pre-pandemic times, dropped to the low 20,000s in April.

The system is currently open from 5 a.m. through 9 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. And instead of running trains every 15 minutes on each of its five lines, it cut service to once every 30 minutes, effectively cutting the number of trains it runs by half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency, like others, is working hard to persuade riders it is safe to return to the trains.

Local public health authorities mandated that non-essential workers stay home, too. Ridership on all Bay Area public transit systems plummeted as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agencies have struggled to maintain basic service, keep riders and workers safe and avoid mass layoffs. An infusion of emergency aid from the federal government allowed transit systems to survive, but getting back to “normal” is still far in the future. “We are now facing the complete economic devastation that is the aftermath of this pandemic,” San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Director of Transportation Jeffrey Tumlin said on Tuesday’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101877803/how-covid-19-is-changing-public-transit\">KQED Forum\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What About Safety?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Transit operators have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue since shelter-at-home orders were imposed in March. One of the major challenges they face now is convincing patrons that it’s safe to ride again, even with the coronavirus pandemic still simmering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s some evidence that transit isn’t to blame for as much transmission of the coronavirus as authorities and the riding public might believe. Studies of outbreaks in various cities around the world have not detected infection clusters linked to public transportation. And a new article from \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/fear-transit-bad-cities/612979/\">The Atlantic\u003c/a> notes that the incidence of COVID-19 has been low in one of the world’s most crowded, transit-reliant cities:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If transit itself were a global super-spreader, then a large outbreak would have been expected in Hong Kong, a city of 7.5 million people dependent on a public transportation system that, before the pandemic, was carrying \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/factsheets/docs/transport.pdf\">12.9 million people a day\u003c/a>. Ridership there … fell considerably less than in other transit systems around the world. Yet Hong Kong has recorded only about \u003ca href=\"https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html\">1,100 COVID-19 cases\u003c/a>, one-tenth the number in Kansas, which has fewer than half as many people. Replicating Hong Kong’s success may involve safety measures, such as mask wearing, that are not yet ingrained in the U.S., but the evidence only underscores that the coronavirus can spread outside of transit and dense urban environments—which are not inherently harmful.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Scroll down for a status report on the Bay Area’s biggest public transit providers, and see how your local service is being impacted — whether that's\u003cstrong> \u003ca href=\"#muni\">SF Muni\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#bart\">BART\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#actransit\">AC Transit\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#ferry\">Bay Area ferries\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> or \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#caltrain\">Caltrain\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've also got a look at \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#next\">what could be next\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"muni\">\u003c/a>San Francisco Muni\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11814785\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11814785\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42247_009_KQED_SanFrancisco_Mission_03202020_9551-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42247_009_KQED_SanFrancisco_Mission_03202020_9551-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42247_009_KQED_SanFrancisco_Mission_03202020_9551-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42247_009_KQED_SanFrancisco_Mission_03202020_9551-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42247_009_KQED_SanFrancisco_Mission_03202020_9551-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Muni bus stops in front of the nightclub Bruno's, which has a sign that reads, 'Save Lives.

And the conversation about mask enforcement comes in the middle of a national reckoning with policing, making the matter even more complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"bart\">\u003c/a>BART\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11806560\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11806560 size-full\" style=\"font-weight: bold; background-color: transparent; color: #767676;\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A mostly empty BART train travels from Oakland to San Francisco on Tuesday, Mar. 10, 2020.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS41952_002_KQED_PublicTransit_03102020_6485-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mostly empty BART train travels from Oakland to San Francisco on March 10, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>BART ridership, which averaged over 400,000 people per weekday in pre-pandemic times, dropped to the low 20,000s in April. It has inched up to about 40,000 now — but that's still 90% of its former level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the agency depends heavily on fare dollars for daily operations, BART, too, slashed service on both its weekday and weekend schedules. The system is currently open from 5 a.m. through 9 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. And instead of running trains every 15 minutes on each of its five lines, it cut service to once every 30 minutes, effectively cutting the number of trains it runs by half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency, like others, is working hard to persuade riders it is safe to return to the trains. It has a \u003ca href=\"https://images.magnetmail.net/images/clients/BOMAsf/attach/BART_15_StepWelcomeBackFactSheet.pdf\">15-point plan \u003c/a>to ensure the safety of passengers, including things like fogging the trains every night, sanitizing all touch points at the end of every run, using the longest trains possible so riders can spread out and requiring masks. Some “Forum” listeners commented, though, that they haven’t seen much enforcement of the mask requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one sign of recovery: BART responded to increased ridership on its “Yellow” line, from Antioch to San Francisco International Airport, and has added trains in both the morning and afternoon between Pleasant Hill and Daly City. The new trains restore the former 15-minute headways between Pleasant Hill and the West Bay from 5 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and from 3:40 p.m. to 5:10 p.m. weekdays.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"actransit\">\u003c/a>AC Transit\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121589\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-121589 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2013/12/RS7039_AC_Transit_14oct2013_0217_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An AC Transit bus in downtown Oakland. \u003ccite>(Sara Bloomberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>AC Transit has not suffered quite the ridership loss that Muni has experienced, with patronage falling a maximum of about 83% in April and rebounding to a 72% loss by the end of May.

A panel that included local professional photographers was created to judge the submissions for the exhibit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Someone else really liked the \"Blue Collar Green Water\" idea, too: company management. Johnson brought her plan for a photo exhibition to Carolyn Horgan, then Blue & Gold's president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project allowed workers from the fleet's different units and unions to work together on something. The proposed show also fits in with a company goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The thing that really appealed to me about it is that Blue & Gold was working hard on employee engagement,\" Horgan says. \"And this would be the ultimate of employee engagement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was more to it than that. Horgan, who is now retired, says the pictures in the show highlight the skill and grace involved in operating a fleet that carries millions of passengers each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just people doing something -- tasks that I saw a lot, but other people maybe are not as familiar with, even tying up a boat,\" Horgan says.

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
