COVID-19 Vaccine Frequency Map
In accordance with the new federal mandate, TSA and SEPTA require proper wearing of face masks, at all times, when on public transit. Failure to comply could result in denial of boarding or removal and may result in federal penalties.
This mandate is part of an on-going effort by local, state, and federal authorities to reduce the spread of the coronavirus when riding on a SEPTA vehicle or waiting at a SEPTA station, in a SEPTA facility, or on a SEPTA platform.
Social distancing should continue to be practiced when waiting to board a vehicle, in a SEPTA Station, and when traveling on a SEPTA route.
Vehicle capacity limits will continue. Please respect seat barrier decals on bus, trolley, and high speed vehicles.
