Transit System: Prince George
18 August 2020
PRINCE GEORGE – Leading up to the implementation of the mandatory face covering policy, BC Transit and the City of Prince George will be handing out masks on August 20 and August 24, 2020 in the Prince George Transit System. Times and locations are available below.
Following the guidance of the Provincial Health Officer and WorkSafeBC, and drawing on the best practices of the transit industry worldwide, BC Transit has implemented safety measures to respond to COVID-19. Our practices and procedures also align with BC’s Restart Plan.
As part of these measures, face coverings will be mandatory on all BC Transit buses beginning August 24, 2020 unless you meet the exclusion criteria listed at BCTransit.com/COVID-19.
While face coverings are mandatory, the policy is an educational step without enforcement. The educational position is aligned with TransLink and other transit agencies in Canada.
