Safety
- Follow the federal requirement to wear a mask or other cloth face covering while onboard all Mountain Line vehicles if you’re medically able and over the age of 2.
- Wash your hands before and after riding.
- Put as much physical-distancing space as possible between yourself and other riders while onboard.
- Board through the rear door, unless assistance is required.
If you are experiencing symptoms, please avoid using public transit and visit the county’s website for a list of next steps: missoula.co/cvirus.
Mountain Line is taking all precautions to ensure its bus operators, riders and the community are safe.
- The agency thoroughly cleans and disinfects its buses and the Downtown Transfer Center lobby multiple times daily, paying particular attention to “high touch” areas, such as handholds and railings.
- For operators, the agency has created a physical-distancing buffer zone by blocking off six feet of space behind each operator.
- All operators are provided personal protective equipment.
