Pursuant to Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-33-20 (19 March), travel is solely
for essential employees, and for members of the public engaging in essential needs.
For additional travel/transit mandates, please consult your local county health order.
With Governor Gavin Newsom's 18 June State Health Order establishing a statewide face-covering mandate, all 58 California counties now require a face covering for service on public transit - while using transit services, and even waiting in line for this service.
