Summary
This white paper is designed to aid transit agencies in the development of viral pandemic response programs for maintenance, cleaning and disinfecting their vehicles and facilities. Transit agencies should consider whether and how the various elements in this white paper apply to their own requirements, plans and policies, and local health departments and regulations. Once a transit agency drafts a cleaning and disinfecting program, it should consider sharing it with the local health department and other stakeholders for review and comment before issuing a final document.
