Face Coverings

This includes digital banners in each streetcar, as well as digital banners on the exterior and sides of each streetcar cab. Audio reminders of face covering recommendations will be played in the streetcar at regular intervals.

Social Distancing

• Digital messaging will be added to each station platform encouraging passengers to observe six feet or more of social distancing on all platforms and streetcars.

Passenger Hygiene

• Additional signage will be incorporated throughout station platforms and the interior of streetcars encouraging healthy hygiene practices such as regular hand washing.

Station and Streetcar Cleaning and Disinfection

• Disinfection of common surfaces on station platforms (i.e. fare machines; railings) and on streetcars (i.e. fare machines; railings; seats; windows; operator cab) will occur on a daily basis.

Passenger Service Policy Enforcement

• Transit Police will make routine checks of streetcars and station platforms throughout the course of the day to ensure compliance with M-1 RAIL’s COVID-19 policy as part of their contractual responsibilities.
• M-1 RAIL will rely on its staff members, ambassadors, private security (Allied), Transit Police, Detroit Police Department, and Wayne State University Police Department to ensure all COVID-19 passenger safety policies are followed.
