All non-exempt visitors are required to wear a face covering over their nose and mouth when visiting a VIA facility. Persons who do not have a mask will be asked to return when they are able to meet the city’s executive order. Persons who wish to claim an exemption based on a mental or physical health risk will be asked to show their VIA-issued VIAtrans ID or Reduced Fare ID. If you are not a VIAtrans or Reduced Fare customer but have a condition that prevents you from safely wearing a face covering, please inform VIA staff upon arrival.
