Salina, Kansas – As the state of Kansas continues to reopen, OCCK Transportation is adjusting service levels for CityGo beginning Monday, May 18, 2020, and continuing until further notice.
Beginning Monday, May 18, 2020, CityGo buses will run from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with no peak routes running, Monday through Friday. Saturday CityGo service will run 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Passengers will be required to observe social distancing requirements. Wearing face masks is recommended for all passengers as well. Additional buses may be dispatched if needed.
Regional paratransit services will continue as they have been. Rides should be booked 24-48 hours in advance and will be scheduled accordingly. City of Abilene services will continue operating 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Passengers will be scheduled to meet social distancing recommendations and masks are recommended.
81 Connection will continue to run only the regular morning route (SB Link 1 & NB Link 1), and only the Salina-Belleville-Salina (NB Link 3 & SB Link 3) route in the afternoon, each day Monday through Friday. Passengers will be required to observe social distancing requirements and masks are recommended.
We ask that all passengers continue to limit travel, as much as possible, to essentials such as work, nutrition, and medical needs.
Vehicles are cleaned throughout the day to protect drivers and passengers. Cleaning Before and After Service: Every vehicle is cleaned before it leaves for daily service- this includes wiping down seats, grab handles and other surfaces with disinfectant. Additionally, “deep cleaning” vehicles is done after each day of service. The crew cleans, disinfects, and deodorizes all surfaces in the vehicle. This includes and is not limited to: grab bars, wall surfaces, windows, floors, seats, stop request pull cords. Cleaning While In Service: Drivers disinfect the high-touch surfaces of buses and vans after they finish a run and before they start another trip or round.
Services levels will continue to be adjusted as the situation warrants. Information will be submitted to the media, posted on Facebook and the OCCK Transportation website.
