Even with today’s shelter in place emergency order from local authorities, CapMetro’s service remains an essential business and will continue to provide critical service for essential needs.
Adjusted Service Schedule
Designed to serve our community’s larger needs. We served 40%-60% fewer riders, which means people are doing what they need to: staying home.
“Skip a Seat” Signs
- Give other customers some space while on the bus or train.
- Board through the rear door to protect operators and other riders.
- Those using wheelchairs and other mobility devices are allowed to still use the front door.
- Please respect the fare system.
Enhanced Cleaning Procedures
Hired 50 part-time cleaners to help clean and sanitize the buses throughout the day. Some admin staff will assist.
Safely Equipped Operators
CapMetro operators have hand sanitizer and gloves. We’re following Austin Public Health and the CDC on masks, but operators may wear them if they choose.
Supplemental Leave Policy
Ensures staff members can take care of themselves and their loved ones and not worry about their employment status.
If you are sick, we ask you not to travel. If your travel isn’t essential, we ask that you follow the order and not ride Capital Metro.
