NJ TRANSIT Mask Policy Update

Alternate text

 

ATTENTION EMPLOYEES:

 

Please see the below guidance regarding the masking policy set forth by the CDC in accordance with the state. This change is effective as of Wednesday, August 4. 

All NJ TRANSIT employees will be required to wear, at minimum, cloth or disposable face masks indoors in offices, subject to certain exceptions.  As is currently permitted, all employees may remove their mask when they are eating or drinking, where seated at a workstation and separated from other individuals by a minimum of six feet, and when situated in a room alone.  All individuals must wear masks in internal meetings and in common areas.

Visitors are required to wear masks in offices, except where the visitor is under the age of two, and employees are required to wear masks in meetings with visitors. 

Per CDC guidance: fully vaccinated people who have a known exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 should be tested 3-5 days after exposure, and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result.
