BART BOARD VOTES TO END MASK MANDATE ON OCTOBER 1

BART'S current mask requirement is slated to end when the mandate expires Oct. 1, but the agency's Board of Directors approved a new resolution Thursday evening that would allow for the mandate to be reinstated when public health officials require indoor masking in their respective jurisdictions.

But, as BART directors acknowledged, since no such requirement exists, BART's current mask requirement will end Oct. 1 as scheduled. The new resolution, approved Thursday night, would take effect when triggered by any new mandate by public health officials to require indoor masking in each respective jurisdiction.
