HDPT is committed to providing safe transit service, even in unprecedented times.  Several guidelines have been put into place to ensure passengers are as safe as possible aboard HDPT buses:

• Masks or face coverings are required to be worn on all HDPT transit and paratransit buses
• Transit and paratransit service is currently fare-free
• Passengers should board and disembark from the rear door, unless ADA service is requested
• To ensure social distancing, passengers should sit only in unmarked seats
• There is an 18 passenger maximum capacity aboard HDPT transit buses
• Passengers should not cross the yellow chain that separates the passenger area from the front of the bus
