Frequently Asked Questions
As a result of a court order, effective April 18, 2022,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) January 29, 2021 Order requiring
masks on public transportation conveyances and at transportation hubs is no
longer in effect. Therefore, CDC will not enforce the Order. CDC continues to recommend that
people wear masks in indoor
public transportation settings at this time.
In addition, effective immediately, the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) will not enforce its mask-related Security Directives. TSA is also withdrawing
its Security Directive 1582/84-21-01E, which was issued on April 15, 2022, and
was scheduled to take effect on April 19, 2022.
Wearing of
Face Masks While on Conveyances and at Transportation Hubs
The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an Order on
January 29, 2021, requiring the wearing of masks by travelers to prevent the
spread of COVID-19. Conveyance operators must also require that all persons
wear masks when boarding, disembarking, and for the duration of travel, with
specific exemptions as described in the Questions below. The CDC Order defines
“conveyance” as including “aircraft, train, road vehicle (including
rideshares), vessel…or other means of transport, including military transport.”
(42 CFR §§ 70.1, 71.1). Operators of transportation hubs must require all
persons to wear a mask when entering or on the premises of a transportation
hub. A “transportation hub” means any airport, bus terminal, marina, seaport,
or other port, subway station, terminal, train station, U.S. port of entry, or
any other location that provides transportation.” More information about this
order can be found on the CDC website, including
the CDC Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) for the mask requirement.
TSA issued an emergency amendment and three security directives supporting the
CDC Order. SD 1582/84-21-01 pertains directly to owners and operators of ground
transport. The other three pertain to the aviation industry. For more
information about the TSA COVID-19 prevention efforts, visit the TSA COVID-19 hub or
view the TSA COVID-19 FAQs.
To support the implementation of the CDC Order and TSA Directives, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) compiled FAQs and will update them as additional information becomes available. The USDOT will also continue to engage stakeholders in conjunction with the CDC and other Federal agencies.
