MDOT MTA's Bus Cleaning Crew
Keeping passengers safe is part of our central mission at MDOT MTA. That mission takes on a new urgency in the era of COVID-19. That's why our cleaning crews thoroughly disinfect every in-service bus, every day. After all, many of the crew's family members are riding too. With your help in preventing the spread of coronavirus by wearing a mask, we're doing our best to assure that every MDOT MTA vehicle is clean, safe, and rider ready, every time you board.

As far as we're concerned, we should celebrate Transit Driver Appreciation Day every day of the year. But until that happens, we hope you'll thank one of our operators for getting you where you need to go, safely, efficiently and happily, even in unusually challenging times like these. #MDOTcares #TDAD2020
