What is CET doing to ensure buses are clean?
COIC and CET continue to enhance the cleaning of our buses and facilities using anti-viral cleaning solutions and wipes on all high-touch surfaces on a daily basis. Staff are sanitizing the operator area, rails, seats, doors, grab handles, and other high-touch surfaces.
What is CET doing to limit driver-passenger interactions on buses?
CET continues to offer fareless boarding across all services (Bend Fixed-Route, Community Connector, Bend Dial-A-Ride, and Rural Dial-A-Ride) to reduce interactions between passengers and drivers and eliminate cash exchange. Fares are only collected for Recreational Services and can be purchased through e-fare.
Are face coverings required onboard buses or at transit facilities?
Face coverings are no longer required to ride the bus or be at a transit facility. Individuals are invited to continue wearing masks if they wish to do so. CET will continue to provide masks to those who require them.
