The Orange County Transportation Authority reached a major milestone in the ongoing effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) when the 1 millionth free face covering was distributed aboard an OC Bus. OCTA continues to prioritize public health and safety during the pandemic and, since spring 2020, has been distributing masks to passengers who need one as they board an OC Bus. “Our dedication to safety at OCTA has been clearly demonstrated by our efforts to provide 1 million masks – and counting – to our bus riders,” said OCTA Chairman Andrew Do, also the county’s First District Supervisor. “There’s no question that doing so has helped keep our passengers and coach operators safer and, ultimately, it has saved lives.”
