Masks once again required on BART

On April 28, the BART Board of Directors approved a temporary amendment to the District’s Code of Conduct to require riders to wear masks in paid areas of the system with limited exceptions. This requirement applies to trains and all portions of stations beyond the fare gates. Children ages two and under as well as people with medical conditions that prevent them from wearing masks are exempt from the mandate. The rule is effective until July 18, 2022, unless it is extended by the BART Board.

Free masks are available at station agent booths and from all safety staff. As with the previous federal mandate, BART PD will continue its education-based enforcement of the mask requirement by offering free masks to anyone who needs one before taking any enforcement action which could include a citation up to $75 or being ejected from the paid area.

BART has installed MERV 14 (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) air filters on all train cars. These filters are dense enough to trap the virus and provide an extra layer of protection to riders. Air is replaced every 70 seconds onboard cars mixing filtered air with fresh air. That means the circulation on BART train cars is better than most offices. In addition, all BART employees are fully vaccinated.

Please note: The Mission Bay Shuttle strongly urges transit riders to continue to mask for their own, and the ongoing safety of others.

Shuttle Mask Mandate Terminated

4/20/22

Good afternoon, Mission Bay Community:

In keeping with BART’s announcement on April 20th that masks are now voluntary, but strongly recommended on BART trains, we are also rescinding our mandatory masking policy on the Mission Bay Shuttle.

Today, the California Department of Health also terminated its statewide order for masking on public transit; the TSA terminated its mandate earlier in the week.

While these mandates are no longer in effect, there may be legislation reinstating masks on public transit in the near future.  In the meantime, we strongly urge transit riders to continue to mask for their own, and the ongoing safety of others.

Thank you.
