UPDATE 6/23/21:

Transit Systems Across the Region Must Enforce FTA Mask Requirement Until September 13, 2021

Public transportation agencies across the Susquehanna region announced today that they will enforce mask requirements for riders until September 13, 2021, per the mandate from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Capital Area Transit (CAT), rabbittransit, Red Rose Transit Authority, BARTA and Lebanon Transit (LT) are among the region’s grantees who receive Federal Transit Administration funding and are obligated to comply with the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) mask mandate until September 13, 2021.

This announcement comes with the news that Governor Wolf has lifted the masking order as of June 28, 2021, communicating that Pennsylvanians may choose not to wear a mask, unless they are required by a business or organization. “It is very important that the riding public understands that the June 28 announcement by the Governor does not change the facemask requirement for transit riders,” states Dave Kilmer, Executive Director of South Central Transit Authority (SCTA).

While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has lifted the masking order for those who are fully vaccinated, it still requires those traveling on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation or at indoor transportation hubs to wear a mask. For more information visit: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html#vaccinated

FTA amended its Master Agreement with local transit authorities to incorporate the requirements of the CDC mask order. FTA’s Master Agreement contains the standard terms and conditions that apply to every grantee. The amendment includes enforcement actions FTA may take for non-compliance. “It is critical that we follow this mandate, as this is a direct requirement of funding for local public transportation. Without the FTA’s support, local service across countless communities wouldn’t exist,” comments rabbittransit and CAT’s Executive Director, Richard Farr.

The regional transit agencies are asking riders to respect the mandate in order to minimize transit delays that stem from mask conversations. The transit authorities have equipped drivers with extra masks that are available to the public for free. “While we are all working towards a return to normal, we ask our customers to continue to mask-up prior to boarding. Wearing a mask will help the transit providers remain compliant with Federal requirements and avoid unnecessary travel delays,” notes LT’s Executive Director Theresa Giurintano.

rabbittransit is an essential business according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Department of Health, providing life-sustaining services to the communities we serve. rabbittransit will continue to encourage all employees and riders to practice good hygiene, take their temperature daily, report any health change immediately, wear a face/nose covering, practice social distancing and sanitation efforts to minimize the risk of infection.

Any passenger who believes their disability prevents them from complying with this mandate, a reasonable modification must be requested and approved by the Authority prior to boarding the bus.

We understand the importance for transportation in your life and apologize for the challenges these changes may cause you.

During the this time of great caution, we encourage you to limit your travel as much as possible and take only life-sustaining trips to access medical attention, buy food or reach employment at essential businesses.

UPDATE: 3/25/20:

Current 31 Day Pass Customers

This is an unprecedented time of uncertainty for all of us. rabbittransit understands the need for flexibility as places of business are making decisions to protect employees and subsequently our community, by allowing employees to work flexible schedules and/or from home.

To support these measures, rabbittransit will permit customers who purchased and activated a 31 day pass between March 2 and March 16, and have only used it for two weeks or less, to be eligible to receive an 11 ride pass; which does not expire. No monetary refunds are available.

To limit social interaction during the COVID-19 situation, customers must mail the March activated pass to our office and include a return mailing address. If no return address is included, rabbittransit will not be able to issue the 11 ride pass.

Replacements will need to be processed at rabbittransit’s Administrative Office. No immediate replacements will take place at the Downtown Transfer Center. Passes must be mailed into our rabbittransit Administrative Office, no exceptions.

If you are an ADA eligible or senior passenger and are not able to access seating in another part of the bus, please notify the driver for assistance. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact rabbittransit directly at 1-800-632-9063.

UPDATE: 3/16/20:

Today, Governor Wolf called for a shutdown of all nonessential businesses. He has asked that people stay home to eliminate as many physical contacts as we can to prevent this strain of COVID-19. https://www.governor.pa.gov/newsroom/

To honor the Governor’s request, rabbittransit is asking our customers to do the following:

Please limit your fixed route transportation to essential needs only. These may include trips to work, medical and grocery stores.
Shared Ride reservations will only be taken for essential needs, such as work, medical and grocery shopping.

Stay home when you can. Be Safe. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community as safe as possible.

Much has happened in the past few days related to COVID-19. The Governor has asked that large gatherings be canceled statewide, sports leagues have been suspended, schools put on leave with many moving to virtual classrooms.

We want to update you on what these latest developments mean for riding transit.

We continue to follow — and encourage you to as well — the advice of the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Currently, there are no recommendations to limit any transit service. Health experts understand transit is vital to the community and many people are dependent on our services to get where they need to go. While many events and other social gatherings may be canceled, people still need to get to work, medical services and the grocery store. We take this responsibility very seriously.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health is recommending “social distancing” — that you maintain six feet of distance between yourself and other people to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. With more people working remotely and prioritizing their travel needs, there is more space on vehicles. We do ask that you remain respectful to and of other people. When you don’t have to travel, it is best to stay home.

We continue to clean our vehicles with disinfectant nightly. Just remember that these surfaces are only clean until someone touches them or coughs/sneezes nearby.

Preventing the spread of COVID-19 is a team effort, so please follow the recommendations of the CDC:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Stay home when you are sick.
