MCTS unveils new, air filtration process on buses
They are using a new product to improve air quality.
They say their new bioactive chemicals, which are sprayed on existing air filters, help prevent the spread of airborne viruses including COVID-19.
“This particular treatment allows for the air to continue to flow while continuously cleaning the air within the buses,” said Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.
MCTS started this new process in February, and have treated nearly every bus on fleet.
“356 buses we have on the road today,” said Joe Price, MCTS administrative services manager. “And almost the whole fleet, the entire fleet has been treated other than the buses down in the shop.”

Thatâs why some of the first county-level political groups he visited â virtually â at the start of his campaign were from Sauk and Barron County, he noted.
âWeâre going to make sure that weâre going to places that Democrats and Republicans have neglected, because I think what people are looking for is feeling ⦠that they have a voice in government and that someone who is in the Senate is actually working for them and is a voice for them in D.C,â he said.
