This guidance outlines safety requirements for those who receive direct funding from the state or federal government to deliver public transportation services. Notable elements of the guidance include a mandate that every public transportation agency must adopt a written plan for employee safety and customer interaction, maintain a minimum of six-foot separation between transit operators and passengers, provide PPE, and develop a COVID-19 monitor to enforce the COVID-19 safety plan. The plan provides more guidance, including additional safety recommendations and necessary state and federal regulation adherence. </span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020'><a href="https://hopelink.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1f42b25fbcee8dda152a574f5&id=e691f221d1&e=b55111ee01" target="_blank"><strong><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#0783C1'>Read the COVID-19 Public Transportation Safety Guidelines now!</span></strong></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:6.75pt 0in 0in 0in;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-left:-2.25pt;margin-right:-2.25pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><tr><td width=598 valign=top style='width:448.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;max-width:100%;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break:break-word'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt'><h4 align=left style='text-align:left'><strong><span style='font-size:13.0pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Leadership news from the Puget Sound to DC:</span></strong><o:p></o:p></h4><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020'>New leadership has been announced for King County Metro, Snohomish County's Community Transit, and for the incoming national Department of Transportation. </span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020'><a href="https://hopelink.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1f42b25fbcee8dda152a574f5&id=0bbcaaef64&e=b55111ee01" target="_blank"><strong><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#0783C1'>Terry White is now the General Manager of King County Metro</span></strong></a></span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020'> after a few months of being Interim General Manager.
