Masks Not Required on UW Transit Buses

In accordance with a federal judge’s ruling, masks are no longer required in UW Transit Service buses.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, of the Middle District of Florida, struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s mask mandate on airlines and other forms of public transportation. As a result, the White House says the mask order is not in effect at present.

While the university continues to support those who choose to wear masks, the only places they are now required are offices where the occupants request them -- through May 13 -- and UW’s health care settings.
