As we continue to address concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic, SPARTAN Public Transit’s top priority is maintaining the safety and wellbeing of our staff and drivers, passengers, partners, and community.
SPARTAN has implemented enhanced cleaning of all buses per the CDC guidelines to protect the health of our passengers and employees by reducing the potential exposure of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) while still providing essential transportation to the community.
SPARTAN has temporarily modified services effective March 23, 2020.
SPARTAN has activated its Pandemic Response Plan due to the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19. The purpose of this plan is to ensure organization and structure during events that disrupt service for SPARTAN Rural Public Transit employees and passengers.
Beginning Monday, March 23, 2020, SPARTAN implemented “Alert Status 2” from the SPARTAN Public Transit Pandemic Response Plan where approximately 50% of office staff will be working remotely and more limited public transit services will be available until April 3, 2020. At that time, management will reassess the threat-level posed by COVID-19. At this level, public government has urged or required that travel be reduced.
SPARTAN will prioritize transportation for passengers travelling to dialysis centers and cancer treatment facilities and other non-emergency medical services as required. SPARTAN will also be offering service to grocery stores.
Routes will be formulated to allow recommendations to go into effect from government, the CDC, and other officials to “social-distance”. To accomplish this social distancing, no more than ten (10) passengers plus the driver will be on any one bus at a time.
As a precautionary measure, to limit in-person contact as recommended, we are asking our customers, community partners and the public to contact us by phone, email, or fax rather than visit our office.
Thank you to all of our passengers and community partners.
